Beside Him

I could have saved this for a Wordless Wednesday, but I decided not to.
We had a family photo shoot a handful of weeks ago… you know, on one of the coldest and worst rainy days of the month – so life goes. (shrugs) It’s all good.

And while “tangible reinforcement” (*ahem* mild bribery) was needed to counteract a few ugly moods the oldest two “of course” woke up in post-nap, I was so grateful to have a dear friend Kassie (KLW photography) taking the pics. She can stinkin’ work miracles, I’m tellin’ ya. Though the girls came around just fine after fully waking up post-nap and while every mom has been in that position, I again, can’t speak enough about Kassie’s ability to love my girls into their normal level of genuine joy. [Thanks again, Kassie.]

But amidst the girls’ cuteness, Kassie took a moment to photograph a few of Matt and I. We were just us, after we got three little girls bundled, and two snacking. It was funny to have a blast from our past in the same park we photographed our engagement pics in. And there we were 5 years later, loving life more than we ever could have imagined.

And it’s when you’re married to your best friend that pics like this just happen…

– Love him so.
