A Months Worth of Pictures

With my camera lens having broken while we were in France, I haven't been very motivated to take any pictures. But that changed when I replaced it with an upgraded 50mm lens. 
This glass is SOOO much better its unreal. 

Example 1.
This is inside with no flash.
 Example 2.
I have not been able to get pictures of Ranger because his coat is such a weird color it doesn't show up well in pictures. NOT ANY MORE!
Look at my beautiful dog. 
 This is a ridiculous picture of Lucy just to show you how much she's grown this summer. 
This was a suit that fit her in June. 
She insisted on wearing it. 
I laughed the entire day. 
 Our prizes at the state fair. 
 Asher is now playing flag football. 
I have always used the line "don't smile" to get him to smile. 
So now that I am trying to get a picture of him being "tough" he can't help it, he has to produce the biggest grin you've ever seen.

 Gah, I love this handsome boy. 
 Lucy is as silly as ever. 
We were hiking and she got herself next to a rock and said "Mommy, this will be a good one."
 Then struck this pose. No lie. 






 A boy and his dog. 
I am so glad I captured Asher's expression here. 
Priceless.

Come Ye Sinner

I will rise and go to Jesus.
He will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Saviour, Oh there are ten thousand charms!
Come ye sinner, poor and needy.
Weak and wounded, sick and sore.
Jesus ready, stands to save you.
Full of pity, love and power.
I will rise and go to Jesus.
He will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Saviour, Oh there are ten thousand charms!
Come ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall,
If you tarry till your better,
you will never come at all.

I will rise and go to Jesus.
He will embrace me in his arms.
In the arms of my dear Saviour, Oh there are ten thousand charms!

*a fantastic version of this song is performed by Ryan Long.
Trust me. It's on iTunes.
It will fill your soul.

Triple Falls







On Saturday, the weather was beautiful and Amy Noll and I took the kids to Brevard to go hike in Dupont National Forest.
Three miles, five waterfalls.


It was amazing-seriously. The trails we hiked have a back story that is connected to Young Life and unfortunately, a good guy lost out on a lot of money. But--I am really glad he did. Or we would never have gotten to visit these waterfalls. Way to go North Carolina!

The kids did a great job and we had a really nice time in the 70 degree temps walking in the woods together.
I can't believe that this hike is only 20 minutes from my house!

Enjoy!
