When we moved to the DC area less than a year ago, Charlie was barely crawling, but I vividly remember thinking about how fun it would be to bring him to the park to run and romp around once he could walk. Now we romp at the park at least once a day and it's more fun that I could have even imagined. This boy is fiercely independent, but also has a tenderness that just melts me every time he buries his sweet head into my legs or hugs me tight while he pats my back. He really is evolving into a little boy-man in front of my eyes each day...
i love the one of the groom seeing his bride walk down the aisle...amazing capture...cute couple..

Meredith and Daniel are just about the most calm and collected set of first time parents that I've ever encountered and little man Jack just sweetly reflected their laid back attitude. This precious boy just slept, smiled and worked his 10-day-old charm. There is just so much love and pride lavished upon a first born child... and of course I can't help but be transported back to my experience (which I simply cannot believe was over 14 months ago now!).
Wishing you the ability to take many naps to help absorb these sleepless nights and cling to the sweetness of that tiny boy every moment in between!
Oh he's so tiny and perfect!!
(03.09.12 @ 08:47 AM)I LOVE these! I can't wait to see them all! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
(03.09.12 @ 12:50 PM)What a beautiful boy, family and blessing to us all. Thanks for sharing this special time.
(03.13.12 @ 07:42 AM)Precious beyond words. I'm always speechless and amazed at what God has created.

(03.13.12 @ 09:42 AM)Perfection! The subject(s) and the photography. I can hardly wait to see them all.
So, here's to loving every remaining moment we have here in Bethesda AND looking towards the next adventure that we will embark upon in ND....
oh my goodness! i grew up in the military, my dad a retired general in the air force, and we moved every year! holy smokes, but i wanted to tell you, as hard as that was for me growing up, my home and my life and my love was my mom, dad and brother. my mom had our home put together out of boxes in a few days....it amazed me, but now i know it was for the sense of normal and to have our belongings set up to feel safe. the safety and all i cared about was having her there with me. charlie will do the same, he has you and his daddy and that is all he needs and feels safe by. just wanted to let you know that. :-)
(03.07.12 @ 11:12 AM)Though I've never been there, it has a special place in my heart. When we were in the Chicago area our new neighbors were from a small town near Grand Forks. Seeing her sitting on her deck reading her Bible every AM made me realize that there was more to being a "Christian" than going to church. That was the beginning of my faith journey, & shortly after meeting her I gave my life to Christ & became a "real" Christian. We both had new babies & she only lived there for less than a year, but she had a huge impact on my life as I watched her truly live out Christ in her, the hope of glory.
So excited for you all as you begin your new "northern-most" life!
oh amy..how exciting!!!! what an amazing little childhood charlie will have moving to so many new places!!!!!
my only sadness is that i may not see you again. just promise to come back to the south eventually, ok?!!

Amy, I'm excited for you to move to Grand Forks. I will being your 'Grand Forks Welcome Wagon'. As far as a babysitter goes please put me in your list. A new little boy to spoil will fit nicely into our family.
I hope you like going to football games and tailgating for that's our fun in the fall then hockey in the winter. Know that you now have an extended family in Grand Forks. See you soon!
What a blessed little boy! He is a delight to watch grow up and see his impact on all of our lives.
