frustration & some family photo shoots

yesterday i had a breakdown.

after showing up 6 hours later than we thought,

the septic tank couldn't be located.

i won't go into details now,

i'll save that for another riveting post.

but the bottom line is we are no closer to closure on this issue

than we were 5 days ago when it began.

it's overwhelming, frustrating, scarey and probably going to be quite expensive.

if i start rambling i'll probably resume crying

so

i'm switching gears today~

 

i wanted to share some images 

i took back in the fall.

the two moms are best of friends

as are the youngest boys.

caroline goes to school with them & they are two of her favorite

'boy' friends :)

the day we shot we super chilly & quite blustery.

but they were quite the troopers.

cathy & kathy

i want to thank you two.

ya'll are two of the most encouraging friends i know

whether i'm running or taking photos

you always have an encouraging word for me.

i hope to be that kind of friend right back to you!

your friendship is a blessing~

 

 

 

 

 

i had just pressed the publish button 

when dan emailed me the following verse~

figured i'd come back & share it with you too

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass

through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the

fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am

the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:2-3
