GO CANADA!!!

our olympic athletes have done sooooo well (as of right now, we're at 17 medals --8 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze)!!! so proud of them and so proud to be a canadian! :)))



i swell with pride every time i hear this song... sniff.

'bout time for another sneak peek!

here's a little preview of jacob's session from last week...



jacob, what a sweet boy you are! thanks for giving me such great photo opps and not minding (too badly) me sticking a big camera in your face! i appreciate it, and i'm sure your mommy will, too! ;)





nothin' sweeter than a mother & her baby... melt. your. heart.



thanks, julie (and jacob)! it was wonderful meeting you! and thanks to my friend, cathy, for hooking us up! :)))

blessings tonight, all!

snow day!

love it when school is cancelled and we can just hang out at home... stay in our jammies, bake some brownies, do a bit of painting, watch the olympics (jacob is a huge fan!)...and do a mini photoshoot with my daughter. gosh, she's lovely.

happy wednesday! :)))









"mama, artists paint standing up." --robyn



our olympic fan!

drying those lovely mittens can be a challenge!



there's a reason why i've always called robyn - my 'reluctant' model. she HATES the camera. most days. but today...she was more than willing to ham it up a bit. sweet. thanks, baby girl. xo.









LOVE. HER.





proud of her paint job from yesterday. ha!





ps - jonah & jacob's sessions are comin'! i promise!!! :)))

a sneak peek at baby jonah

ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. so adorable, right??! julianne & matthew - enjoy a 'sneak peek' of last friday's session! :)







ha! i'm guessing jonah was having second thoughts... ;) "maaaaaa... i don't think this was such a good idea...."



more to come!

olympic fever!

i must say... i'm gettin' the fever.

i don't typically watch sports on television, but i L O V E the olympics --and seeing these athletes, who have worked so hard, achieve their goals. fantastic. awe-inspiring, heart-wrenching at times, beautiful.

i cannot WAIT til next friday when the games start up in vancouver. cannot wait. so proud.



just finished some props for the stage at our church for this sunday! we're kicking off an olympic series called, 'ALL IN!' - all about discovering what it means to be a spiritual champion for Christ.

love this verse in hebrews...

1 therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

it's gonna be a great Lord's Day on sunday!!! :)))

boys & their toys!

gotch ya!



yes, i DO have other children. ;) it just seems that jacob's had a lot going on lately...and, well...he's quite the poser. :)

news! i've got a 2mos-old shoot on friday morning (yay, jonah! can't wait to meet you!) and oh, and the 4mos-old shoot that was supposed to happen last friday, didn't...due to a big, bad snowstorm! so that's on for next week, as well as a family shoot! check back often because there's lots more bloggin' goodness on the way. :)))

happy wednesday!
