“Even miracles take a little time.” ~Cinderella
Yes, this news seems like a miracle after all we’ve been through. We feel very blessed to inform you all that our family is once again expecting our third little one. We found out this past weekend that many months after our last miscarriage that finally I am pregnant...
July 21, 2010 - 12:49 pm - Congrats Amanda! My prayers are with you!
July 21, 2010 - 12:51 pm - Congrats Amanda! Best of luck to you and your family. You can do it. I have a family friend who has 3 kids and 3 miscarriages. I remember being young and my mother assisting her thru the hard times. Joy will come to you I'm sure!! :D
July 21, 2010 - 1:30 pm - Congratulations, Amanda. God bless and I pray things will work out.
July 21, 2010 - 1:55 pm - Congratulations, Amanda! I am so happy for you and your family! I WILL be praying for all of you. I was at Pawmosa today and thought of our trip. To come home and see this news only made it more special.
July 21, 2010 - 3:24 pm - Congratulations Amanda - nausea is a good sign. I will be praying daily for the little one you carry!!!
July 21, 2010 - 11:31 pm - Congratulations!
July 22, 2010 - 11:02 am - congrats!! positive thoughts for you and your family! take care of yourself!!! :)
July 22, 2010 - 12:28 pm - I am so happy for you. Miracles do happen and I am sending joy and light your way. I am choking back tears at the poem and I want to share one I just wrote yesterday for my sister and her husband who will be burying their third child born at 36 weeks stillborn. I hope it is okay to share it. Unconditional love so plain and pure for a child born an angel with a soul too good. Too good for the kind of heartbreak his loss has brought to the hearts of those waiting and wanting him most. There is no pain that can possibly compare to a parent consoling a child who thinks his loss is unfair. A child who doesn't understand why his brother's heart won't beat. A child who wants to fix things and make his brother and mother complete. All the dreams and hopes dashed by no beating heart. The hearts broken and aching and falling apart. To never have witnessed you taking a breath. Instead we part with you and try to cope with your death. So much love to give so many feelings and words but reality and dreams are now a bit blurred. We say goodbye and although now we part we will carry our love for you forever in our hearts. Thank you for blessing us with your angelic face we release you now with our love as your embrace.

July 22, 2010 - 12:28 pm - just realized the poem got all squished-if you want it in better format, please email me.
July 22, 2010 - 2:40 pm - My prayers for a healthy pregnancy go out to you. We're actually due about the same time and I know well of the fear that comes with hope for a baby, a healthy baby. Congrats to you!
I’m excited to finally announce the winners of the 2 photo sessions. We put the names in a hat of those who donated to help Wrenn’s family and the kids picked the winners randomly. Rather than spoiling the surprise I’ll let you all check out the impromptu video the kids and I have made to...
We signed Hope up to play softball for the first time this spring. She played t-ball when she was four but didn’t seem as excited about team sports as she was about swimming and gymnastics so we gave it a break for a few years. This past fall Jason began umpiring little league so she...

We took a little afternoon trip to Bok Tower this weekend. It’s only our second time visiting, but it still remains one of our favorite places in central Florida to visit. It’s not just an amazing place to visit but it’s a...

Things have been so crazy these last few months that I’ve put off taking the kids to the doctor until today. The kids have been doing well and I could tell they were growing, but I...
March 5, 2010 - 10:11 am - Hope, I totally sympathize with you! I remember vividly being 9 years old, and the Dr. telling me I had to have some blood work. Well, I ran clear out of the doctors office! You're much braver that I was, I'm glad you survived. ;)
It seems as though I’ve been going non-stop and haven’t taken much time to update everyone fully. I suppose if you follow me in twitter or facebook you may hear my quick rantings from time to time in the midst of my busy moments. As I steadily make lots of progress lately I thought I’d...
January 28, 2010 - 9:33 pm - Your eye for photography is so incredible, Amanda. It stuns me on an ethereal level.
January 31, 2010 - 8:44 pm - What a gift you have. What a wonderful option you have for ezpressing your emotions, happy, or sad. Thank you for sharing.
My younger sister, Joleen, decided she and her kids would take an impromptu last minute trip to visit us in Orlando after she learned she’d be off work for the New Year’s weekend. Of course while they were here I took plenty of photos but I thought it might be more fun to rewind and...
It’s really hard to believe that Christmas is just five days away. It can’t really be Christmas already, can it?
It still does not feel like Christmas for us this year. Rarely are there years that pass by that our Christmas tree isn’t up the day after Thanksgiving, or that the outside of our home isn’t...

December 22, 2009 - 8:35 am - now that's a Christmas card anyone would be thrilled to receive!!!
I wanted to finally share my final project for my photography course at SCAD. Many of you have heard me chattering about my “fishy” project on campus or in facebook and twitter and finally I have my project to share with you so you all can stop wondering why in the world I was taking...

Today Hope turned eight. Yes, eight. Wow…I find myself still trying to figure out how time has passed us by so quickly.
I have to admit that it wasn’t until I...
