Meremac Springs

We took a family picnic out to Meremac Springs a few days ago.  We so rarely get unscheduled family time, so we wanted to make the most of it!  

 a little momma i tell you!


i always want to remember how calm they were there.  it was something about the fresh air, the sound of running water.  they were all content to just stare at the water.




crazy about this man.  i'm not sure that we've taken a worse picture together, but hey, it's okay, right?

this picture sums up what my heart longs for.  the promise that God has given us for Blake's life.
kindness, gentleness, calmness, family, love, contentment.

oh my first born.  you will always hold the key to your momma's heart.



God has given so much beauty right in our own neighborhood!


we can look normal...sometimes.

but this is really what we're like!

She would throw some food in there and the fish would splash so much that we would get splashed!  This was her reaction every time!

exploring God's creation together.  perfect.

we saw an albino trout!
