It’s a great concept, right?At home, books are always abbreviated because Alana is VERY busy and her attention span is like...

the alana post

IMG_9499

I try to keep my blog full of photos that are not just of Alana. I’m pretty sure that no one, other than my family, enjoys looking at photos of Alana quite as much as I do. As a result, I try to keep the blog about our family, not just our daughter. It’s important to...

This mother’s day was ordinary with a splash of sweetness and thoughtfulness by Rich and Alana. We didn’t really have plans other than to go to church and relax a bit that day. I’d recently bought a new dress that I just love so I asked Rich for a mini session for Mother’s Day. When...

my beautiful sister…
