Like getting a glimpse of my little man soaking in the dirt, grass and backyard with his fingers and toes. Like the dragonfly that honored me with her presence on October 15th. Like the precious memories that come to my heart at the most random [...]
Well friends, we found our pumpkin patch yesterday. Okay, it was sort of a pumpkin patch, but I loved it all the same. It’s at the same family orchard that has seasonal fruits like persimmons, figs and blackberries. They have a little picnic canopy, a baby swing and a children’s playground area. I love going [...]
… you’ve pretty much crushed my spirit. I think I’d like to fast forward to Christmas if it’s alright with you. But we all know Christmas won’t be the same this year. I got a glimpse of your sunset yesterday in the midst of utter chaos. It’s still crazy to me that the sun can [...]
This was part of an Illuminate Photography assignment. All the letter images together is supposed to spell “Music”. The lyrics from this song are hauntingly beautiful. I hope you’ll read them. Timshel ~ Mumford and Sons (click to have a listen) Cold is the water It freezes your already cold mind Already cold, cold mind [...]
Well this was interesting. Illuminate has been challenging {which I LOVE} since starting it 3 weeks ago, but this one was super challenging. I had to take 100 steps and snap a picture where I ended up. Umm… I live in Houston suburbia. Nothing too fantastic to see ;) But… here ya go :) What [...]
1. wagon rides. he loves them. but you wanna know something? he eventually throws everything out of the wagon that he might be holding (ie… a sippy cup or toy). he does it without us noticing most of the time, little stinker! 2. fun times with daddy. i wish he could stay this age forever. [...]
FOR OUR WORLD We need to stop. Just stop. Stop for a moment… Before anybody Says or does anything That may hurt anyone else. We need to be silent. Just silent. Silent for a moment… Before we forever lose The blessing of songs That grow in our hearts. We need to notice. Just notice. Notice [...]
One of the most precious gifts we received after losing Jenna was a shadow box of little things we got to keep from her NICU stay. Things she wore. I haven’t touched them physically in over 2 years until yesterday afternoon. The prompt came from Illuminate to explore light in our grief journey and photography. [...]
This is my first time joining Life Rearranged on the blog party, InstaFriday. It’s just a fun way to share what you’ve been up to using instagr.am or anything. The bicycle. It’s pretty lovely. I caught this on the way uptown to order Nevaeh’s t-shirts. It’s crazy how a crappy 70′s picture filter can add [...]
visiting jenna. It was a beautiful beautiful day. We don’t take that for granted around here since we’ve had an incredibly HOT HOT summer. It was an awesome day actually. Me and Bubby met Pete there on his lunch break {Pete’s sweet isn’t he? To give up his lunch break to come visit her..}. We [...]
I am taking part in Illuminate – a 4-week photography class designed especially for bereaved parents to encourage healing through photography. I love it so far. It’s been a nice way to unwind from work in the late evenings, and take time to think about STUFF that feels buried. This week’s assignment is ‘self-portrait’. I’ve [...]
Yesterday we got a lil’ glimpse of Heaven in our backyard. All summer long Texas has been in a serious drought and I kid you not, I forgot what a rainbow in real life looks like. Sad, I know! I couldn’t take my eyes off of it!!! It was a beautiful reminder of so many [...]
In a few words life has been happy and sad. I am bursting with happiness from Bubby’s tremendous progress in walking. I was getting worried he’d never want to walk! ;) He’s almost a pro. Almost. Happy because I finally got in my beautimous planner that keeps my crazy life a little organized. It makes [...]
It went by way too fast but I am glad to be home. It was such a pleasure sitting down and talking with Angie Smith in person. The whole meet up was extremely last minute for both of us. We checked into the hotel, I popped open my laptop not expecting much and almost died. [...]
For me, her garden is more than just a flower bed. Her garden symbolizes so much. It’s actually hard to put into words, but I’ll try. It represents peace… love… hope… dreams, broken and new. It is a reminder of beauty and pain. It is a constant work in progress. If you’ve ever seen it [...]
