do you ever…?
By Stephanie | December 27, 2009
Do you ever look over at your husband…really look at him…and see all the good that is in his heart and think to yourself, “I totally married the right person! He’s even more amazing today than way back when…and man, he could make my heart go wild even then.”
I do. All of the time.
Do you ever look at your preschooler and just stand there stunned by her beauty, her smarts, her sweetness, and her ability to make you laugh from deep down within your soul?
I do. All of the time.
Do you ever look at your baby and just feel overwhelmed by the cuteness? You just want to squeeze her tight and gobble up those sweet cheeks. You wonder what you did to deserve such an incredibly precious, pretty, and perfect little one…
I do. All of the time.

Bob takes such wonderful pictures of you and your family Stephanie. He really captures your personalities and spirits. I have never had the opportunity to have a professional photographer do a session of my family or kids and would love to try it out sometime. I love taking pictures of my kids by myself, but it would be great to see how he captures them. Thanks for the recommendation and the chance to win.

YES! I do look at my hubby and kids and feel this way too!
You are so great! You always say the nicest things and look so happy in your pictures. I love the picture of the two of you.
He seems to be a great photographer but I’m sure having you and your family as subjects makes it a whole lot easier. Please don’t enter me, I would never be able to make it to Tucson, just wanted to let you know…You look beautiful!

Yes. Yes. And Yes. All of the above (with the exception of looking at my baby BOY and wanting to gobble up his cheeks. I was just reflecting on how richly I have been blessed with my little family this afternoon. I was thinking of how amazing God is…that He knew that it would take an American girl and and Austrian boy meeting and marrying in New Zealand to begin the story we are writing now. I am constantly in awe, and ever so thankful. Thank you for sharing some pages of your story with us:) No need for your amazing photographer as we are not close, but you can tell him I think he does great work:)

I have two teenage daughters and I never stop looking at them in amazement! My girls mean the world to me, and I cannot get enough photo and video memories to capture the memories! Thanks for the photography package offer!

Our parents were friends back in the 70s/80s, so when we re-met a few years ago, it was odd at first, because in my head he’d always been the son of my parents’ old friends, not dating/marriage material at all! Sometimes I’ll still look at him and have a moment where I say, “I married a Howard! Weird!” Funny how the perfect person was in plain sight all those years, and I never realized it!
I would love to win this photography package, so we could take a set of great family pictures once “baby girl” arrives!

I love your family pictures. He did such an amazing job capturing the beauty of your family! I love outdoor pictures, especially since we are an “outdoorsy” kind of family!
On another note, I totally look at my family in awe all the time. There are times that I just sit back and gush over how much I love my husband. He is everything and more! My kids make me giggle all the time. Great post, Stephanie!

Of course I think those things! And we can never get enough great pictures of the family to keep and to send to other family members. We’d love to get some of these beautiful photos like you guys did. Great job!

Sometimes I look at my kiddos and get teary-eyed thinking about how blessed I am to be their mom. I’m such a sap. :)
Beautiful post and photos.

Beautiful pictures! I’m not in that area so no need to enter me but I did want to say that YES I do look at my wonderful hubby like that all the time. He’s amazing and I’m so thankful for him! We celebrate 13 awesome years on New Year’s Eve.
Just back from Jamaica so I’m doing my best to catch up on your blog posts but can’t hit them all LOL Hope all is well and that you have a Happy New Year!
