These Boots Are Made For -- Jumpin?

It's starting to feel a little like spring time and so the girls finally got new umbrellas that they've been asking for since before they were born. So of course the first rainy day we were home we took them outside to give them a try. They also threw on their matching boots for good measure -- which are great for puddle jumping!

Here are a couple pictures I snapped of them outside (who knew it could be so much fun taking pictures in the rain?!) Lately I've been tinkering in my little sandbox working up some presets and actions to create images with an old timeless colorwashed sort of feel. What do you all think?







Alyssa is really into tattoos right now...can you find her latest one in this image?

Emily's 4th Birthday

Tomorrow is Emily's 4th Birthday. Wow. That means we will officially have a 0, 2, 4, and 6 year old. What a crazy time of life! Each day is a new adventure -- sometimes fun, usually challenging, and always exhausting. But it is good. In fact most days we just sit back and marvel at how God has blessed us with such wonderful children!

At any rate, as part of a traditional we started with our first child, Jeremiah always takes the time to decorate their birthday cake. Tonight he parked himself in the kitchen to freehand another work of art that Emily is sure to love! Can you guess who she is into right now?!
