Ok so I am not going to lie. This week has been a really hard week for us.  We have experienced a death, a raging fire through our old neighborhood, the emotions of sweet friends losing their house in the fire, as well as other friends right up the street whose house is still standing amidst the rubble. When I saw Grace painting this picture today it reminded me of the verse in John that says:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God believe also in me.  My Fathers house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

So thankful for these 4 girls in my life.

Last night the Waldo Canyon Fire ripped through our old neighborhood taking out over 300 homes on the west side of Colorado Springs.

Clothing line photo shoot and my girls got to model.  Very fun for them.

 Sweet Laura Black went to be with the Lord on Saturday leaving a husband a 3 children behind. Her celebration of life service will be tomorrow. I am so glad her hope was NOT in a Jar.

A fun engagement session before heading back to Birmingham.  Can’t wait for their wedding on September 1, 2012.

Shot a wedding today and loved the way the light was hitting her dress hanging in the window.

Back in Annapolis today and had to stop in and see my favorite neighbors…not much has changed in the hood.

I love getting things in the mail that have cute packaging.

Sometimes life and laundry piles up…

Working on a fun project in Brookwood Village. 6:30 am date with some flower beds.

$7.99 for  5 piece floaties…stylin’

Happy Father’s Day to the sweetest man in the world.

Congratulations Nicole & Joe!

big wheels keep on turning…

On August 1st we will be moving into our new home.  Grace and Abigail have been coming up with designs for the treehouse. This is Abigail’s “design”for inside one of the tree house walls.

Fun night out at FLIPBURGER with some photographer friends. I love that my friend Heather and I are both doing the 365 and have the same pic of the day today.

Last night I got to go to a friends studio and letter press stationary on her very amazing old school machine.  Cory said there was a distinguishing feature called “the kiss” which is referring to the amount of impression left on the card from the letters, which is significant in determining if the letter~presser really knows what they are doing. I can say from hands on experience this girl knows what she is doing.  I love my cards.

Fun night learning to letterpress with Cory from Four Hat Press.

Today was Aunt Ma Jean’s funeral in Butler Alabama, she was Grandma Daisy’s only sister and it was sad to say goodbye but one that was filled with great hope that our treasures are in heaven.

It was a beautiful service with family.  For dinner we all went out to eat catfish on the Tombigbee river.  You will be missed.
