i heart faces/on your feet.

This week at I Heart Faces, the theme is "on your feet."

Now, I love sweet little baby toes as much as the next photographer,

but knew I had to re-post an image from earlier in the fall involving some bigger feet..

My ever-frugal son was home from college and was so proud of his thrift store find.

Thrifted shoes: two dollars.

College education: more than two dollars.

Weekend at home: priceless.

catch me if you can.

 Shane is on the move...

so we played "catch me"

and peek-a-boo.

And we giggled.

Because he is sooo cute.

 I don't give toddlers lollipops because they're cute props.

I give toddlers lollipops because it gives them a reason to sit down for a moment.

I'm so glad I had a red sucker for this little Santa boy.

He really loved it...

...and wasn't too happy when it was taken away from him!

These pictures belong in the Smith family Christmas card, for sure!

Season's greetings!

baxter family.

 It has been fun to take pictures for the Baxters several times this year

 as they document the growth of their boys.

We no longer have to prop Joshua up in a basket or bucket...

He is off and running...carrying a stick, of course.

Because that's what boys do.

Here's a little peek at our session last week...

 I had to include at least one picture of Caleb's tongue.

I have several more....

One Starry Night.

sweet caroline.

 Caroline is indeed sweet and sooo pretty.

She was also quite snuggly the day we met for pictures.

 Beautiful family.

This is a personal fav of mine. 

I love her little half smile...safe in mommy's arms.

Finally.

Let's put on our coats and play on the playground!

Sweet freedom.

Sweet Caroline.

Water into Wine.

My picture this week is inspired by a song we're singing on Sunday by Chris Tomlin.

Water He turned into wine

Opened the eyes of the blind.

There's no one like You

None like You.

Into the darkness You shine

Out of the ashes we rise

There's no one like You.

None like You.

Our God is greater

Our God is stronger

God, You are higher than any other

Our God is healer

Awesome in power

Our God

Our God

And if  our God is for us

Then who could ever stop us?

And if our God is for us

Then what could stand against?

I'm so grateful for the many ways I've seen Him at work this year.

Taste and see...the LORD is good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

friends of friends.

 Friends of friends.

It seems we're meeting more and more of those.

The Hrabiks are friends with the Ritters (whom we've known forever).

After our summer session with the Ritters, http://susanchambersdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/06/overflowing.html

Diane contacted me to set up a fall session for her family.

Anyhow, I love meeting my friends' friends.

It feels comfortable somehow.

We had a great time (and a beautiful morning, I might add)

capturing this busy season of the Hrabik's lives.

They have one in elementary school, one in middle school, and one in high school.

And all were a delight!
