Taken By Terra!
It's official... I have started my own photography business!! I have wanted to do this for a really long time and I still have a lot to learn... but I have started taking pictures for people and have fallen head over heels in love with it!
Keep checking back for new sneak peek pictures of all my shoots.
Also, here is a link to my website. Please let me know if it is not working on your computer. It works on mine but some people have said that it doesn't work on theirs.

Christmas in Arkansas
This year we met my family at a Lakehouse in Arkansas to celebrate Christmas! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
Sunday School Party!
Here are some pictures from our Sunday School Christmas party. Y'all sure do have some cute kids!
Selah Grace's Dedication
The most important thing that Andrew and I could do for Selah is to point her toward Christ. At our church they have the baby dedication twice a year. Once at Christmas, and the other at Mother's day. This was so incredibly important to Andrew and I. We want to start leading Selah to the throne now. Even if she doesn't realize what is going on... one day we will be accountable to God for how we raised her. From birth to death.
We didn't have any blood family near but we did have all of our church family there to support us. It was so neat to stand up there and realize that I was handing my baby to God. She is his first and foremost. We just get the honor of kissing those chubby cheeks every moment of the day here on earth. We love you Selah Grace!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Bring on Christmas!!! 12 days and counting!
Adjusting....
I have been such a slacker on blogging these past two weeks. I do have an excuse though... I had to leave my 6 week old baby to go back to work. sigh.
And what an adjustment it has been. Adjustment might not even be the right word. Insanity, craziness, sheer chaos... those words might be a better fit.
I am a little OCD, so when things get out of my control or a little messy... I kind of.. have a melt down. To all you working mom's out there, I applaud you! Your work TWO full-time jobs and you still remain alive at the end of the day. I feel like I deserve a gold star at the end of my day.
I wake up at 4:30am and my head does not hit the pillow again until around 10:30pm... if I'm lucky. Good news though, Selah is only waking me up once a night - if that - to eat. It makes it easier to get up and go to work when you were not up all night with the baby. Having a newborn = your life is not your own anymore. You tend to have different priorities when your world revolves around a nine pound pooping/eating/sleeping machine. You find yourself talking about yourself in the third person to a squirming little human in a very high pitched tone. And no, this is not only women who do this. Men do these things as well. I found myself cracking up laughing when I heard my brother, Travis, and Andrew talking to Selah over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Get your high pitched voice ready... "You love your Uncle Travis don't you. Ah-Boo boo boo boo. Why, yes you do."
Are you guilty of this? Of course you are! You can put a baby in the middle of a group of cynical old men and in five minutes you'll have them melted like a bunch of marshmallows over a campfire.
It has taken me a solid two weeks to be able to leave Selah with the babysitter without bawling my eyes out. Of course, the first day was the worst. I could barely drive I was crying so hard.
Selah Grace is growing so fast right before our very eyes. She is already smiling and is on the verge of full-blown laughter. She is a drama queen and very sweet. I am drenched by the time her bath is over.. she fully enjoys the warm water. Whenever we are in the car and she is throwing a fit, all I have to do is start to sing... she stops crying immediately. She's my world. I never thought I could love something so much.
So yes, we are adjusting... but I wouldn't have it any other way.
