happy summer! can’t believe it is already the middle of july! wow! how did we get here so fast?

Summer has been so refreshing so far at our home….Thankful for the opportunities to get away and spend time together.

Family vacation in Kentucky was so fun! Hope we get to do that again soon…..



hope you are having a wonderful summer!
the long, long winter has attacked my desire to pull out the camera the past few months….
As I type this, it started snowing again.
However, this morning–due to the lack of capturing my little ones this season, I decided to do a quick mini-photo shoot on our front door step….
Thankful I did….was able to capture this….

swoon.
my sweet little girl…..such a blessing!


a couple new faves of mine….
love that for the most part they love each other and get along. Such a blessing! Hope that they continue to love each other well and build into each other’s lives for many years to come.
*Gracen turned 5 last week! Wow! So excited to start Kindergarten!

wow! it feels like ages since I have blogged….maybe b/c it has been ages….
Things have been so busy the last month and half! Haven’t had time to sit down and catch my breath….we certainly have jumped right into summer and I can’t believe it is the middle of June already!
May brought a fun visit from Grandma who helped with SO MANY outdoor projects! I have got to take some pics of our beautiful garden we added under the deck–(which we stained too!)
We also spent 2 nights at Great Wolf Lodge–it was a blast!
Then Gma and Gpa came for a visit the first weekend in June and brought the most amazing bubble toys! These bubbles are ENORMOUS….I mean seriously–HUGE.
We all got in on the fun! Great way to spend a summer evening on the deck…..




seriously—-these bubbles are HUGE! want to know where to find them??? walgreens…..in the bubble section…..they have toy story, disney princesses, mickey mouse, etc. And…..they are only $3.99!
You’ll definitely get more than $3.99 out of them!
and…some seriously cool photo opportunities!

so…..back to work for now……..but had to share!

“if you need me, just reach out your hand….i’ll be there.”
this was up in old mission….so many good memories….
love this one of the 2 of them……
more to come….

Went to the gardens with the kids last week—SO happy to see spring blooming!
So…I wanted to create something for my ipod and LOVE how it turned out!
I used one of the layouts from the Treasured Collection-Family Album templates and modified it to fit the skin size….
here’s how it turned out…

Very fun…..:)
I ordered the skin through a Canadian company– gelaskins
*I’ll be adding these to my product line at the LCH Design Store very soon…..

Leah
Has it really been this long since I’ve updated? wow! We had a beautiful snowfall last week and were able to go out and enjoy it some….
Love being able to stay home with my 2 little blessings and enjoy everyday moment’s with them….



and some snow angels…..


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
What a blessing this year has been……full of events and transitions and most importantly—-bringing our son home in late January.
This time last year we were waiting to travel and booking flights to Taiwan. Wishing and waiting to hold our son and bring him home. We are thankful to the Lord for blessing us with little ethan.
a snap of our Christmas card this year…..used this template from the Retro Christmas Collection….printed it on Pearl and loved how it turned out…..:)


took a couple pics of the kids on cmas eve……







blessings to you and yours,
Leah
