Tina and I enjoyed this free film last night. It doesn’t cover everything but I think it’s principles some of it’s ideas are excellent. Check it out at http://www.backtoedenfilm.com

September Vacation in the Mountains

We took a few days to camp up at Pisgah and do some hiking. Visited the Cradle of Forestry since it was a free day and had a great time. As always, had a great time photographing the boys. Here were some of my favorites.

The Joy of Play

I was walking by and saw the boys playing intently at their sand table. I quickly grabbed the camera and snagged a few pictures. So thankful to live in the country with two little country boys. God is good!

My Family Blog Update

I am checking back in after having allowed this blog to become stagnant for sometime.  I plan to begin catching up on this blog by bringing you up to speed on some of the events of our life over the last year.  Then I hope to keep things up a little better.  I enjoy sharing and of course photography is a large passion of mine.   Soon I hope to get my photoblog back up and running and program it to share a new photo each day.  Another passion of mine is my calling to be a minister.  I have a blog dedicated to faith called “Just Thinking . . .”  that I post to usually weekly.  Finally, Jamie’s memorial page will be back up in the coming weeks after I reorgnize it.  Jamie was my twin and I am comforted by keeping his memory alive.  Well, I guess that’s all for now.

Having fun in the Snow

Tina and I hadn’t taken pictures of each other really for some time.  So after laying the boys down for a nap, we went out in the field and took pictures of each other in the snow.  It turned out to be a lot of fun.   Here were some of my favorites.  click here to view them.

Jason’s 3rd Birthday!

We celebrated Jason’s birthday over the weekend with family and friends. We have been so blessed with two healthy little boys and as I reflect on Jason’s life thus far, I am amazed by how fast he’s growing but touched by each milestone. The more time passes, the more helpless I realize I am to this unstoppable force called time. I wouldn’t want him to stop growing and developing for one moment but I guess the passage of time is what gives added beauty to each moment we share. It requires one to savor what they have for each moment is unique and special because of the progress of time. I am thankful for the moments God gives us. Click here to see pictures.

Jordan’s 1st Birthday & Haircut

Yes, he had his first haircut on his first birthday. Sabbath we celebrated with lunch and dirt cake and then after visiting opened some presents and went for a walk. After putting the kids down we enjoyed a fire in the fire pit by the stream. Then Sunday morning we enjoyed a pancake breakfast out in the front yard with the boys and family. After breakfast, Jordan got his haircut.
It is hard to believe that Jordan is already one. He still has no teeth and doesn’t talk but he has managed a step or two. We are so thankful that God has blessed us with two healthy boys. I am thankful for the uniqueness of each. Here are some pics from the weekend.
