:: this is the life ::

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:

tim :: this is the life ::

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

girls playing in fall leaves :: this is the life ::

THIS IS THE LIFE.

family fall leaves :: 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.

    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!
