7 more days until Christmas.
But I don’t feel frenzied or frantic.
I just feel happy. Unbelievably happy.
To be married to this talented, tender-hearted, tough guy:

And to get to spend every single day with two smart, sweet, stunning girls:

THIS IS THE LIFE.

And it is wonderful.
Beyond wonderful, actually.
Words simply can’t describe the fullness that is in my heart, in my life.

Great pictures! I especially like that last one with the whole family. It really captures the moment.
A wonderful life indeed. I love the photos!
What beautiful photos and words. I love this time of the year. I don’t do the frenzied shopping thing. I’d rather sit back and enjoy.
Your pictures are so pretty. I love leaves, it makes me think of Fall back in Michigan! You are so blessed with a wonderful family.
What beautiful photos!

I thought I commented on this already. I love the facial expressions in these pictures. Your girls are blessed to have parents like you and you are blessed to have them! I have been finding myself thanking God for giving me the two He has entrusted me with. They bring such joy!
