Family Pictures






We had a "mini-session" of family photos recently. I am a rule follower, so I put the watermarked ones on the blog. Don't worry. We got some with no watermark!

Morning Comments and Conversations

This morning as we were driving in the car:
Abby: Mom, I really want to ride a squirrel.

You may wonder what the context of that comment was. It came shortly after she told me at afica and mafica rhyme.

Also this morning in the car:

Haley: Mom, do unicorns live at Disneyland?
Me: No, honey. But it does seem like there should be unicorns at Disneyland.
Haley: Then where do unicorns live?
Me: In enchanted forests.
Haley: Where's the enchanted forest?
Me: In your imagination. There aren't any real enchanted forests, but you can imagine them.
Haley: But where are the unicorns.
Me: Honey, there aren't real unicorns.

At this comment, Haley's eyes welled up with tears. It was so sad. I wished I could make unicorns real for her.

Me: I don't know why God didn't make unicorns, but He didn't.

After a few moments of silence...
Haley: I'm gonna pray that God will make unicorns.

(Katie, obviously I was thinking of you through that conversation.)

Babies:)

Haley and Abby's biological grandparents gave us a whole bunch of baby pictures of the girls. It's so fun to see them when they were so small (also a little heart wrenching, because I SO wish I could have held them and loved them then). Here are a few for y'all to enjoy:

One month old: Abby is on the left and Haley on the right.

2 month old Haley

3 month old Abby

4 months old: Abby on the left and Haley on the right.
