{devriend photography} Ryan and Samantha


...came up with these ideas for their Christmas card this year!
Aren't they adorable? 
I'm so honored they ask me to take their pictures.




Eli Sits


all by himself!
Left over Christmas lights from a weekend photoshoot gave him all the confidence (or distraction?) he needed!

Love this little Sugar Pop.

Captured


Eli was trying to catch the sparkles in the sunbeam while I was folding laundry today.

What a precious little child-of-a-sunbeam he is!




First Snow


Yesterday, the snow stayed on the ground for the first time this season!
The kids were enthralled.

His Mercies Are Renewed Each Morning






The amazing view from my bedroom window Sunday morning.









Overheard


Location: At the Sunday lunch table

Hannah: "Daddy, can I get down and go play?"
Daddy: "No, Hannah. What do we do before we get up from the table?"
Hannah: "Oh. We finish eating and read the Bible and pray and go wash our hands and scram."

Haha! I guess they've heard me say that too many times. 



 


Miles' First Hunt!!


It was a big day...
Get up early with Daddy : Dress in layers with camo on top (!!!) : Drive a half hour
Tramp through grasslands so tall you can't see through them : Take some shots at pheasants that your friend's dog flushes up

It was quite windy and cold, which made for difficult shooting.
But a little boy's day was made.

By the way, it totally tastes like chicken!  :) 
We enjoyed it with mashed potatoes and gravy and yellow beans he picked from the garden last summer.
Thank you for the delicious dinner, Miles and Daddy!
