A lot of reasons

I have so many reasons why I love Mark. A few that have been magnified lately are:
-His cooking skills. Not only does it make it fun to have people over to eat dinner with us, but his pasta dishes make the best leftovers. Really, you want to eat these leftovers.
-His confidence in others. He has a lot of faith in other people and always expects the best from those around him. He has so much trust in me as a mom so when I break down and cry (yeah, that was yesterday) he encourages me and tells me that I'm doing a great job.
-His ability to play. I love that he wants to go kick the soccer ball around, jump on the tramp, hit a few golf balls, play basketball. I get tired of playing with hyper nieces and nephews pretty fast...but he'll sweat buckets before he's done.
-His photography. Just look at the photos on our blog or his website. Yeah-awesome.

With new light, comes new life.
Each day brings with it the opportunity to witness something amazing.
At times it's something that we simply happen upon.
But most of the times it occurs when you take a step back and try and look at the big picture; look at what's really happening.
And look at who is really running the show.

Over the past few months, I have been able to witness incredible growth in our tiny one, Siri. And each facet of that growth, is truly miraculous. Physically, she has grown a few inches, gained a few pounds, and developed many features. Mentally, she is alert and observant and recognizes familiar sounds and a few faces. My favorite part of all of it, though, is the spiritual growth I have seen in myself. The love that develops and grows with each day is truly astounding. Never has it been so easy to love someone or something.

Simply amazing.

Blessed.

Halloween snapshots

Love Halloween. It's great because it's the ultimate excuse to dress and act like a total weirdo. Plus, you get the wonderful sugar rush to add to that weirdness. But the best is to see the tiny ones out and about in their super cool costumes! Here's a few...

Christmas Cards

I am starting to design a few Christmas cards for this upcoming season. I just wanted to create a few modern cards. Here are just a few samples. Let me know which one you like the best and if you want me to design one for you!
