My heart is heavy today.
Presley's room is bright & quickly becoming saturated with pink, but it once was the room of a handsome little boy who just recently lost his life while swimming. I imagine his mother picking up his clothes & making his bed each day in that room. I feel deeply saddened for her, her husband & their other sons. I often find myself taking moments for granted or worrying about the unimportant details of life. I need to not do that. I am truly blessed that my babes are all here with me & well & safe. I have a heart full of friends who are dealing with loss of a child or fighting to keep their children alive. I love them & am deeply touched and encouraged by their strength & testimonies. We can & will be with our loved ones for eternity. I know this to be true.

Love the pictures of the kids at the pool. We too will keep all in our daily prayers.
:( ok. you got out my tears for the day. it is true. we all need to look around and realize what is really important to us and love and appreciate the time we have with our loved ones.
love the pictures. it looks like you always know how to love on and make fun times for your little angels!
i can't imagin losing one of my boys... i would never be the same. Jenn- your kiddos are just too cute! great photos! Looks like tons of fun! I need to get back on the blogging wagon. I just can't justify sitting down to do it with my house still full of unpacked boxes...YUCK! hugs to you sweetie!
oh Jenni! That made me cry. While in Lake Powell, I had a scary incident with Ruby. I was holding her trying to dip her feet in the water, and we both fell in. Doesn't sound too scary, but it was b/c I was almost drowning trying to keep her head above water until someone came and got her, all the while trying to tread water with just my feet! (obviously i need to take a life saving/swimming course b/c there are better ways to do this.) Anyway, even though we were just fine, it freaked me out and I was a sobbing mess. I can't imagine losing a child. I can't even fathom it. Thanks for your testimony. You're a sweetie. And I love your pics always. You're really talented you know!
These pictures are FANTASTIC!!! I don't know if you got a new lense or something, but you are growing in your photography skills every single day. You're a quite spectacular! :)
heather, Your boys are just the sweetest so hurry & unpack so I can see more of them:) I miss ya! hows civilization treating ya? haha.
Mauri--this post had me all crying for YOU my friend! you amaze me..between katelyn when she was just a babe & now your sweet Darla Jane--Im just in awe of your strength sister! I love you!
allegra, that is just too scary!!! it hit home for me too. I was at a playdate with some friends here at our pool & I suddenly felt this impression to specificaly look for britton.I started scanning the water--spotted his float but no boy. I PANICKED! My pal Kacee quickly stood up with me & she spotted him first & went & pulled him up. CREEPY! i had nightmares for 2 nights! I am glad you & ruby girl are okay!
ava, I actually have just been working hard on doing more reading on both camera use & photo shop. Rod recently bought me a new editing program too so...taht is why my pictures are evolving a bit right now. still feel like I hvae a long way to go. I worry I over edit & they look too processey (i just made taht word up :) ) your boys back yet??
Boys not back yet... :( I get them tomorrow! I can't wait! My heart aches for them! May I ask what your new editing program is? I like editing, but sorta like when photos are good enough to not NEED it, but only use editing because it makes them more fun. I just need to work on making mine good enough! Lol
I have apperture & pixelmator which Im not 1005 sold on yet. I have a hard time thinking Ill like something more then photo shop. those 2 programs are for apple. Ill let you know what I think when they get some real use! ha. have fun with those darlings when they get home!
