Merry Christmas

It was so precious to hear Jonas read the Christmas story from Luke 2 to us last night! It's also amazing to contemplate the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ as I hold my newborn baby boy this Christmas season. God's love is amazing and overwhelming to me in a new and refreshing way. I'm enjoying this privilege of being mommy to these 4 special gifts. These pictures are supposed to be a Christmas/ New Year's/ birth announcement card that I have yet to make. I'm not sure I'll get to it, but here they are- a little sneak peek!

One BIG happy family

I'm still here! Isaac is waiting patiently in his cozy cocoon. I'm enjoying every last minute of this pregnancy. I can tell that Isaac is a sweet boy with a laid back personality (hey- I can HOPE!) #3 was constantly waking me up at night- even in the womb. With Isaac, I'm the one waking him up for my regular trips to the next room. I love these pictures and am so excited to share them with you! They were taken by my amazing friend when we were in Tennessee this summer. You have to check out her site: Pleasant Vonnoh Photography. I could spend hours there pouring over her pics. Thank you, Pleasant! You captured some amazing moments that I will cherish forever.
