In Christ Alone our Hope is Found

A few moments ago (Saturday night), I was just sitting in the brown recliner waiting for Grace to quiet down in bed, so Ken and I could slip out together for a little bit. I was looking at  2 pictures I  put up last week. They are in the perfect spot, but I debated whether it was time to put them away or if I could put them up. I decided to put them up. I am not sure if I have shared these before. I am thinking some of these have made it on my blog at some point. But I just need to write this. This one is black and white too, so they match. They are pictures that remind me of where our family has been and where God has brought us. It brings me back to January 2010. Our lives were upside down.  We were just starting to realize that Micah would not live, unless God gave us a miracle. One we were too scared to hope for. We had just come back from Great Wolf  Lodge the night before. Our house was a mess. I couldn't find Sunday clothes that morning. I was fru...

I am still going through family pictures, but I am pretty sure most of these ones will make it on the wall! (o: I am still tossed about Micah's and Grace's though.

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love family pictures. Having my family documented to keep forever makes me happy. It also is extra special because we are coming up to the 4 year mark of Micah's diagnoses and he is here with us to be in the pictures. What a special blessing that is. I often feel relieved to have them done. It means that we have captured Micah the way he is right now, so if something happens in the next few months, we have him in beautiful pictures, that will be here with us for the years to come. I have many, many pics put in a drop box for me to look through and pick. Sooooo, I am going to start weeding through them., by putting them on my blog. So this time I am going to do Grace. I am going to put my favourite few up and then look at my blog tomorrow with fresh eyes and pick the one I want to go on the wall. It is a major process people! (o; I love the 4rth one. It is her princess look. But the other ones, show different sides of her. I also like the brig...

 I LOVE family pictures. Family pictures are my most favourite "thing". The pictures on my walls are all family pictures with only a few exceptions. It is a beautiful thing to capture our family at every stage. When the kids were younger I was faithful in taking lots of pictures, but we rarely got a photographer to take pictures for us. I regret that a little.  There were so many pictures to choose from. The ones below I would say are some of my favourites! (:   To me this picture of our family looks very natural. Everyone is very relaxed and Natalie is even just leaning on Ken. I like it very much. I would have to say that this one is my favourite of the whole lot of them. The relationship these two have is beautiful I love it! My girls. (I love saying that!) Natalie is a great big sister, who is always ready to hold Grace or feed her a bottle. Although,  Grace is getting pretty big and strong for Natalie and Micah to be carrying around. Josh is 12. I...
