November 🦃 🍂 🍽️ This month held so man

November 🦃 🍂 🍽️

This month held so many precious events & emotions. I am a girl who feels deeply, so when our family nanny (& my unofficial little sister) asked me to be her Matron of Honor, I became an honored puddle. Everyone in our family of 6 got to be a part of Jaydon & Avery’s wedding day. It was marvelous. In fact, right before I was about to walk down the aisle, Faith toddled over to the dirt, rubbed her hands in it and wiped them all over her white dress😂THEN, she decided to walk down the aisle TWICE. I love that little biscuit so much.

Judah turned FIVE this year. I look at him & I see a baby who became a boy who is becoming a man. This child is so precious. His tender heart & adventurous spirit remind me that there is so much life to be lived.. & to never take life too seriously 🤍

Lina started using the big girl potty. 🚽 Literally just because. Magical! She continues to live however she pleases & I love that about her. She will find her way & she will do it joyfully. What a gift.

Alexander is our energizer bunny. He is forever helping me with tasks & chores. He is always the first to want to bake or cook with me & needs daily outside time. He reminds me that I need to slow down. To observe, to listen, to be— doing isn’t the point. BEING is. God knit this child together with such vibrancy— I never want to miss it bc I assume my way is better.

Our sweet family got to do so many wonderful things. From early morning bagel dates with dad, to hosting Friendsgiving, to seeing Wicked (I cried, shocker), to Christmas Tree hunting & hosting my family for Thanksgiving- it was such a joy to have so much love & light in one month.

*not pictured but I want to remember: Feeling like myself again, Dave having sparkle in his eyes, the absurd amounts of laundry, Faith walking everywhere like a drunken sailor 🥹, learning to ask for help, hiring contractors (in October) to renovate a bathroom (a one week project turned to four weeks), & one of the brothers shared the gospel with me- I cried (shocker , again) bc his story was so incredible & I needed hope that night. So grateful.

Abounding in gratitude & generously blessed 🥲 I

Abounding in gratitude & generously blessed 🥲 I love this crazy crew of mine. We may have practically three 2 year olds (aka super spicy, independent toddlers) but it is the most magical thing being their momma. I can’t get enough of these little loves.

Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours 🤍 🦃 🍽️

Happy birthday, my little joy girl!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are sassy, smart & vibrant. You started talking as quickly as you were able & havent stopped since! Your eyebrows never fail to let us know exactly what you’re thinking. I love that you know what you want & you are unabashedly yourself. You sparkle with joy & are incredibly tough. You tumble with your brothers & yet are incredibly sweet with your baby sister. You already want to be a momma , & it’s the cutest thing watching you. I can’t believe you’re TWO!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love everything about you, Lina Joy ⭐️🫶🏻🌈

I’m in my birthday party throwing era. With four littles, we have a birthday every few months & I absolutely love a reason to celebrate. This year, I tried something new & it was a dream come true: I threw myself a birthday party. 🥳 👒🌸🌻🎂🍾

I wanted to throw a special dinner party in the garden, surrounded by the women who have grown with me & helped shape me here in Roanoke. We laughed, shared, clinked glasses & ate really good food.

The gift of being intentionally together was more than I could have asked for. Cheers to 33 & all that this year holds 🤍

Special thanks to @fourarrowsfarms for the incredible, custom bath salts for each guest !! ✨🤍 🫧

Megan & Mark’s engagement session just blew me away. The mountains, the gorgeous views & their perfect chemistry made this session so much fun. Their September wedding day can’t come fast enough !

Someone once told me “The crap of life makes the best fertilizer for the garden that God is growing.”

I can’t stop thinking about that. The hard things in life really do help grow us & shape us. If we trust the process, we will grow through what we go through. 🌱

Life is a journey & everything works in seasons.
All seasons begin & end…some circle back around again.
All in all, there are few things that last forever.

May you enjoy all that this season has to offer, while also knowing that a new one is coming.

A year from now, everything may be different 🤍

You got your wish, sweet Sarah 🤍 Yesterday was a delight. The most timeless, rustic wedding with the loveliest mountain views ⛰️ 🌸

Our family has grown through the gift of adoption

Our family has grown through the gift of adoption ✨

It was never really on our radar to foster but when we lost two pregnancies , we thought “Why not?”. We had so much love to give & deeply desired to step out in faith. To be a place of safety for a child for a season felt so right to us. Little did we know that God had two bundles of joy instore for us.

Through Foster care, God gave us two of the most incredible kiddos. Our season with them will be forever & I am so grateful to be their momma. Our story is my favorite 🫶🏻 !!!!!

God always does so much more with what we have when we give it to him. 🤍
