My Grandmother, Mary Alice Louise… for taking the trip to Arizona, for being the perfect example of a woman of faith, for loving my husband as though he was her own.

My Mother, Mary Elizabeth… for loving my children with all of her soul, for being my daily encouragement, for having a faith like no one else I know

My Daughter, Julia… for being kind and gentle and lovely

My Son, Nathaniel… for being a strong peacemaker

They make me who I am. If I have even 1% of their best traits, tomorrow is going to be ok.

p.s. don’t be afraid to give your camera to someone! It is good to have proof that you were there.

p.p.s. Great photos my love! Thank you for forcing me to be in them.

p.p.p.s. Can you believe Julia is about to outgrow mom? Watch out mom! She is so excited!
