It was a very cold and wet day in the Portland area. We arrived and all I could think was “I really hope she didn’t wear nice boots.” hah! She looked STUNNING and somehow was able to get through the family portrait session NOT covered in mud. Incredible! We had a blast documenting their first […]

We enjoyed our second Christmas morning in Portland. I’m so grateful Brian’s schedule had him home for Christmas! I was about 2 months pregnant in these photos. The first couple are from before our Christmas church service, followed by dinner at a friend’s house. Brady asked for a “red speed bike” for Christmas so, that […]

My heart nearly exploded with pride & joy as we watched our sweet little boy’s first school Christmas program at his new preschool in SW Portland. This school has been a blessing and he’s really enjoyed it.  We dressed Brady in his new “Christmas best” from his RaRa for the big night. Isn’t he so handsome?! […]

This was our first Christmas in Oregon. While we certainly missed our family & friends back in Texas, it was nice to be together just our little family in our home without having to travel.  We enjoyed snuggling by the wood burning fire, and made a big breakfast together, and stayed in our pajamas all […]

We celebrated Christmas for the first time in our home in Dallas. Brian had knee surgery earlier in the month and couldn’t sit in the car for long, so visiting Houston was out.  We’ve also just wanted to have Christmas at our house, especially since Brady is at a fun age and we’ve also never […]

Our trip to Katy for Christmas was good, except that Dougie was pretty sick and fading quickly. It’s hard for me to describe my emotions about it, because it was difficult to see.  It makes me a bit sad that we do not get to enjoy Christmas Eve with our church in Dallas since we’re […]

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.  He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness  from that time […]

Since Brian and I have been married, we’ve had 5 Christmases each year to celebrate with family. In one sense, it’s a blessing, in another it’s a lot to keep up with ;).  Luckily, two are up here in Dallas, and the other three are in Katy/Houston.  So, we usually celebrate with Dallas family first […]
