Love notes from God


 Today my love notes came in the form of

colorful muddy boots,

splashing in the creek,

singing on the bridge

squealing on the swing-set

and leaves glistening in the sunshine.

 …

My love notes probably look a little different from yours.

The crazy, wonderful thing is that we each have our very own set of love notes (moments!)

signed, sealed and delivered by God

every single day.

No price.

No condition.

He knows exactly what we want and exactly what we need.

 Love notes for us.

Just because He loves us.  

So thankful for my love notes today.

 xoxoxoxox!  

a little surprise for KR!

Don’t you just love surprises???

A couple of days ago I did a surprise photo session as a THANK-YOU GIFT!!

Thank you M for being the most perfect and beautiful model (and for helping me with this surprise)!!

Collage Template via Bird Design!  I love the whimsical borders.  These look so good in print!

Dear KR,

Thank you so much for sharing your joy, kindness and creativity with all of us.  You are a treasure to our family.  UPS will soon deliver an extra-special package with lots of pictures for YOU!   We wish you all the best in your next BIG adventure.  

Love, Katherine & crew

P.S.  Your gorgeous daughter is the most precious, gracious and darling twelve-year-old in the universe!!  She takes after her mama in so many ways.

Toys & Books

I’m always on the look-out for sweet little antique toys and books for the kids!  Most of our collection comes from my dad who sends us care packages every month or so.  The kiddos love opening PAPA’S packages– they never know what vintage treasures they might find!!

These Child Craft books are super special to me.  My dad had an identical set of encyclopedias in his home when he was growing up.

Oh how I love these colors!

The other side of the bedroom.

Getting ready for naptime.

I don’t even want to know what is smeared on the wall?!

Wishing you a WONDERFUL day!
