Life is an Adventure// Family Pictures








I don't have much time to write, because if I am lucky enough for Max to take a nap, it only lasts a few minutes. I have been wanting to share the beautiful family photos my amazing friend and photographer Heather took for us a few weeks ago. I may or may not have been so in love with the photos that I ordered every single print. I never do that... but I honestly couldn't narrow them down. They are such a dose of happiness! I just love them so much! I am so glad we were able to get these photos taken, and that Heather captured such sweet moments. They are priceless to me.  You can see more photos on her blog, here.

Little Max is still suffering and things are pretty exhausting right now. We are grateful he hasn't had to be hospitalized again, but he is still at high risk, so we never really know what the next moment holds. He is one tough, determined, and extremely patient little boy. We are praying his little stomach will begin to heal soon, and that his digestion will start to work properly again. I feel so bad that he seems to have inherited my food sensetivities. It pretty much breaks my heart.  

And yes... we bought the 1979 VW bus pictured above. We call her Sunny, and have some fun adventures planned with her, but more on that later. The events of the last week aren't really the sort of adventure we were planning on right now, but we are looking forward to Max feeling better and enjoying sunnier adventures ahead.

  2. The pictures are so wonderful! I love them! I don't think I would be able to choose just one or two either. We are praying so hard for you, Danny and sweet little Max. I can't wait to hold him with all smiles and giggles again.

  3. Love these pics so much! I'd order them all too. :) I can only imagine how exhausted you all must be right now. How I wish here were something tangible I could do to help. My big sister/auntie heart hurts to think I cannot fix these problems and make things all better. Yet, I also know of the peace and faith that come from enduring and so I try to hold on to that and be strong that way for you instead. We love you all so much and are praying for peace, health and happiness to be yours very soon. You may not feel strong right now, but like I told you earlier this week, I am so impressed with your strength, grace and faith throughout these trials. You are the best momma - and Danny is he best daddy - that sweet lil' M could ever hope for. Can't wait for you all to have those adventures with Sunny. I am up for a road trip any time, sis!

    Sending lots of love, smiles and happy thoughts from 'Bama, Steffie & John
