Justin's parents were in town and we decided to have everybody over for the Twins Birthday. In the process of having everyone here we invited our friends Jen from church to take pictures of all of us-what a task that is! She also took the newborn pics of Brynn-which were amazing!
She kindly jammed us into her busy schedule as a mommy and photographer, of which we are so grateful. Below are the results of her amazing talent. Although not perfect, as in with all the kiddos looking, smiling and behaving, cute none-the-less and we will all remember what we had to do to get those rare smiles! (I will remind Justin that he was smacking his bottom and saying words like poopoo to get even the faintest smiles!).
We treasure any and all moments to get pics of our kids, with the grandparents, and even a rare pic of mom (me). I'm so thankful for Jen's time. If you would like to have some pics done with Jen, let me know and I'll gladly refer you! I think her link is posted in our Favorites!

Quotes About Motherhood

A Prayer for Womanhood God, give each true good woman Her own small house to keep, No heart should ache with longing, No hurt should go too deep..... Grant her age-old desire: A house to love and sweep. Give her a man beside her, A kind man, and a true, And let them work together And love, a lifetime through, And let her mother children As gentle women do. Give her a shelf for dishes, And a shining box for bread, A white cloth for her table, And a white spread for her bed, A shaded lamp at nightfall, And a row of books much read. God, let her work with laughter, And let her rest with sleep. No life can truly offer A peace more sure and deep.... God, give each true woman Her own small house to keep ~Grace Noll Crowell~ ~~~~~~1934~~~~~~

And that is our privilege as mothers – to rear Godly men and women to influence the world for God. I Timothy 2 and 3 discuss qualifications and roles of men in the church, but in the middle of it all, there is an intriguing little verse, I Timothy 2:15: “But women will be saved through childbearing – if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.” -Paula Wilson

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." Abraham Lincoln

"The joys of motherhood are rare and beautiful treasures that can be easily missed if we don't seize the opportunity to grab them." Ginger Plowman

"My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of mw; and I felt that I had someone to live for; someone I must not disappoint." Thomas Edison
