Thanksgiving & Tree trimming {in Photos}

In recent days, I have picked up our Canon Rebel T3i to start capturing some of the memories we are making in our little family! It has been so fun to experiment with different settings and to watch our little boys {especially Samuel} enjoy the world around him, discovering all the beauty! 
Benjamin is 2.5 months old and growing like a WEED! He is over 16 lbs and we are falling more in love with him every day! He just started sleeping about 10-11 hours a night which has helped momma get back into the swing of "normal" life {whatever that is!}. 
Samuel is also growing like a weed, but more in personality and disposition. It is EXCITING to see how inquisitive, adventurous, and sweet he is becoming! He loves giving hugs {especially to baby brother} and playing in the dirt. He is definitely boy boy boy!!! We absolutely love it. I'm just having to get used to all the rough-housing going on in this little apartment :) 

Here are a couple pictures documenting our simple little life here in Louisville, KY {and some from our trip to FL for Thanksgiving}. Some are from the handy iPhone, while others are taken on the SLR :) Enjoy.

{yummm...cinnamon rolls!}

Samuel and Paxton hanging out on Thanksgiving morning while momma and aunt Jen watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while eating cinnamon rolls - tradition for as long as we can remember!
Aunt Jen LOVES her nephews!

It was such a glorious feast! I can't wait until next year!

Grandpa and Grandma can't get enough of their guys! {Benjamin, Paxton, & Samuel}

We had a little fellowship while we were home, at the Harsh's! Autumn does such a great job with the little ones. She takes after her momma! :)


The outfit that Summer got Benjamin! He's definitely not little, but he is my "little man"

Melissa joined us to pick out our Christmas tree. What a fun time!

Samuel had the job of holding down the tree on the drive home ;)

Joshua hanging the lights! {LOVE Christmas!}

The finished product!

Our little guy decorating cookies at the Bush's :)

We're going to miss Mel when she goes back to FL, but we're thankful for the time we had with her here :)

He is so sweet to his momma!

May I continue to seek the face of God as I seek to live a life reflecting my redemption!

About me

My photo
I am a redeemed woman who seeks to reflect that redemption by living out my calling as a wife and momma! My primary purpose in life is to glorify God through obedience by helping my husband and loving others. Of course, I don't do this perfectly, so I daily rely on the work of Jesus to count me righteous and rest in His saving grace!
