My first maternity shoot!

I had the honor of shooting my friend Angie this weekend belly, boobs and all! She is due in 4 weeks and looks amazing (not matter what she thinks!) I loved what she did with the nursery and how ready she is for this baby. Like Angie, I am a planner, and I totally get the nesting she is going through. I also have a deep emotional investment with Angie and Keegan and all they went through to get to this point. Infertility sucks, and until you have been there, it's hard to understand. You feel crazy, helpless and jealous. But once you finally get your miracle, it's worth every tear that falls. I cannot wait to meet this Lil Diva called Avery Dawn Smith.....she will be beautiful that's for sure! See the beauty....

Yeah, my kids are cute!

I mean it, they are adoreable, georgeous, amazing, wonderful and the best thing that's ever happened to me and Josh besides eachother! I like saying this in writing more then in person because I don't want to be annoying and go on and on about how good looking and smart my kids are.....

One of the best lessons my Josh has taught me is to be humble in everything you do.....he is the most athleticly and musically talented person I know, but he would never tell you that. He has always been a "silent leader" and man, I really respect and love that about him. Never brags about his accomplishements (Pro Basketball for the Euro League,NAIA National Player of the Year, All American, the list goes on and on...someone has to brag for the guy!)

Point is, as I get older, I realize that humbleness is a virture I really want to strive for....the Bible speaks about this and I would rather people ask then me tell them all the amazing things my kids and my husband do. So, here's a pic of the beauties I took yesterday in the courtyard. They love it outside and I can't get them to come in once they are out......life is getting so much more fun with these two...I wonder what they will be up to next?
