{pretty, happy, funny, real}


taking a moment to capture contentment and joy in every day life


{pretty} 
There seems to be "pretty" around every corner these days. Several of these are from my instagram account.













{happy}
some new spring happy colors added to my wardrobe for spring



It makes me so happy to look out in my garden and see lettuce growing! I'll be even happier when I can eat it.


I have tickets! I bought these for the family for Christmas and it's finally here! We all love Chris Tomlin and his music.

A couple weeks ago my girl lost her first tooth. Since then, the other loose tooth has moved to the middle of her mouth - she has a "middle" tooth!





{real}
It's April and almost time for me to return to Mexico. I'm leading a small group from my church to stay, work and play at an orphanage. I've been looking forward to this trip for the past 6 months, but the reality of leaving my family is hitting me hard. Prayers are welcome.

    Oh dear. I didn't want this post to end. Your photography is amazing and those flowers are stunning and that sunset, and the middle tooth and just all of it. REALLY great!

      Thanks, Rebecca. Sadly, the middle tooth came out last night. I'm glad I got a picture of it!

      Thanks Mary. The first 5 photos were taken with my iphone...not bad for a phone camera. Of course, they all have some sort of instagram filter, but even the original photos were pretty good quality. I love the first photo of fish eggs that we saw at the aquarium.

      Your prayers are greatly appreciated! You can pray for Kevin and the girls, too! I'm sure they'll manage just fine without me but you never know...

      You can join me on a future trip : )

      My husband went to Haiti in 2010 (November) with Medical Teams International and Haiti Foundation for Hope.

    I love the spring pictures, especially the one of the trees lining your street. I love this time of year in the moments that I stop sneezing long enough to see it ;) It is okay if I use the photo I mentioned in a letter to my Compassion kids? I have failed at taking pictures lately. I also love, love, love the pop of color in your wardrobe. Beautiful colors.

      Yes, Rebecca. Feel free to use it - I used it when I wrote to my kids last week! I'm having fun mixing and matching all those new pieces : )

    The pretty pictures are SO PRETTY! I love them all. Have fun at Chris Tomlin. We saw him on tour last year and Louie Giglio was there too, it was an amazing show/message, it was such a great night.

    I am encouraged to know that there are flowers blooming somewhere, gorgeous sunsets captured, and gardens growing. Just not here. Yet!
