Came across this...

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.
~Catherine Marshall

just love this quote. I need to read this daily to remind me that this is my peace for now...because 20 years for now I will miss all the noise of children fighting, the laundry on the floor, wiping noses, the interruptions and all the joys having four small children at my side.

The Rodriguez Family...

Aren't they just adorable? The Rodriguez Family was my last session of the busy holiday season and I loved every second of photographing them. They are truly a beautiful family.

Thanks for looking!

My Babies...

I was finishing up on editing my kids holiday pictures and I came across this photo that reminded me so much of the photo I have framed on my wall of them exactly 4 years ago. Aren't they just adorable??? I miss them as babies oh so much...sniff..sniff!!!! Just the other night Little Miss "J" asked me to rock her (yes I still have the rocking chair in the girls room...that I used for all 4 kids...I just cannot take it out). Of course I could not resist. I sang to her rock-a bye baby and also my version about how much I love her from her head to her toes and her sweet buns and eyes...etc. I remember when they were babies I could not let them go...I just held on to them so tightly...wishing I could freeze time. They still love to cuddle with me (sometimes a little too much) but I take it all in. Don't laugh but after I left the girls room that night I went to the boys room and sang the same song to them...and they didn't kick me out! They actually enjoyed it...bless their hearts. Thanks for listening to my rambling.

My New Years Resolution....

Yes....I despise laundry! It makes me grumpy...seriousely grump! So, this year I decided to make it my resolution to try and keep up with it. You ask why the photo??? Well, it is not to share my secret of never folding clothes...I entered it in a contest. I am attending a photography workshop in February...THE SECRET WORKSHOP. And they are having a contest...all you had to do is send in a picture of yourself holding a sign with your resolution. The winner has not been announced but I am keeping my fingers crossed. At least my photo made it on their blog...yipee...I guess that makes me a nominee...LOL. I will keep you posted if I win...and if I don't at least I hope I made you laugh...aren't those buns cute!
