a random few
The boys and I returned from Texas yesterday afternoon, all delighted to see the Man of the House after being away for two weeks. When Joe was asked to speak for a men’s retreat at a church in Houston, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to fly down with him and visit with my family and friends.
A highlight for me, besides having access to a Chick-fil-A for two weeks, was getting to celebrate my 30th birthday with my family and three of my dearest, life-long friends. It’s been seven years of living so far away from these friends, making times like this even more special to me.
These pictures have no particular rhyme or reason, but I love them and wanted to remember them here.

Hi! I am a random mom in Baltimore who stumbled upon your blog and find your love for God, your husband, your children, and your community encouraging and challenging. I also LOVE you photography skills. I have been curious as to what camera lense you use for the majority of your shots? I have picked up photography as a hobby and love to get reviews from avid photographers whose main subject is their children.
In Christ, Katie
