A family photoshoot

Thanks to my mom-in-love we did 6 month family photos last Sunday. We had planned to go to the Wintergreen gorge for pictures but it rained too much.  It was POURING so we decide to take photos inside at PSB.  It turned out to be a fun afternoon. 

And at the end we got some nice weather.

I'm so thankful lately for the Sabbaths that Aaron, Zoe & I have been enjoying the last few weeks.  We;ve been trying to use our Sundays to focus more on the Lord.  Jesus tells us to seek first His Kingdom & His righteousness.  That is what Aaron & I have been trying to do lately.  We've been listening to great sermons by Paul Washer (Recovering Biblical Womanhood, Do You Really Desire God?), RC Sproul, John Piper, John McArthur. 

We've watched Pilgram's Progress and a movie on Tyndale (translated the Bible into English & was burned at the stake for it) & Charles Spurgeon.  

We know that we are not saved by doing these things but because Christ saved us how could we not want to honor Him?

Hopefully in the future we will go out to handout tracts and engage people in conversation yet. 

6 Months WHAT??

Zoe Joy turned 6 months old on Saturday. I can't believe it!  She is incredibly precious, rolling over both ways, laughing a lot, working on her finer motor skills (she is AMAZING at pulling my hair: praying I go gray faster than I go bald =P), she is a great independent sitter but really doesn't like to be alone, she is working on crawling and can get herself on her knees and rocking instead of just baby push-ups (although she still does those), she loves the outdoors and her dada.

Can't tell which one I like better

She has started saying mama (sort of but I'm claiming it.) If she is asleep when dada gets home she wakes up at the sound of his voice.  So precious.  Shr's also been eating solid food for about 3 weeks now.  We DON'T like kiwi, Everything else has been acceptable.

Look at that wrinkled nose

Sometimes trying to crawl makes us mad.

LOL look at that face!

Happy half a year old birthday girl!!!

Away for too long

Hi there!  Do you still remember me??? I've been away from this blog for far too long.  Unfortunately I'm finding it very difficult to blog at all let alone do both of the blogs that I have.  Life just gets a bit crazy sometimes. (ok, it's true, almost always).  Like today, after I get done with this and hopefully get some food in my belly so I'm not sick, I will be making a peach pie, possibly some homemade bread, and heading to a friends to go swimming with her and her kids.  Busy.  Just busy.

Another reason we've been so busy is that I've added a TON of new items to the shop.  Like doubled my inventory.  Have you seen the new items??? Well you should go take a look here.  Let me know what you think.  There are so many new items.  Here are some of my favorites!

The Ashley Headband

The Ilene Blossom

The Totally Me Blossom

My friends, Sky and Melanie, helped me out last week by taking the time to do a photoshoot with me.  I took all the items I had made to Sky's house and we had a little photoshoot/dress-up session in the back yard.  We had a ton of fun being together and being goofy and trying to make Toaster's Transformations better but having better photographs. 

Here are some of my favorite behind the scenes shots from the day.

 Showing Lanie how to work my camera.

Sky is just too cute!!! 

 Look Karen, I get different angles too :). 

 Yes, I make goofy faces.  That's why this picture is not up in the shop :).

 More behind the scenes action!

I love it!  So fun! 

 What a cutie!

Yup, too dark, but way fun to have pictures of the behind the scenes happenings.

So that's what's been happening in my neck of the woods.  How about you??? If you looked at the shop do you have a favorite item?
