Meet Lola | Our Newest Addition

I used to wonder how people just quit blogging, but as the kids get older, it becomes clear -- there just isn't time!  Photography is busy, work is insane, and our personal life is even more crazy!


I figured I should 'come back' by introducing you to the newest member of our family...Lola!  The beginning of June we were asked if we wanted a yellow lab, born just the day before.  I had been looking for dogs almost nonstop for the past year, and this one just seemed to 'fit'.  Adam quickly agreed and we said yes, but decided not to tell the kids.  So on August 5th when she was 9 weeks old, we drove to Moville, Iowa and brought sweet Lola home!  

I will admit having a puppy has been a learning experience for me, we had a couple of crazy weeks, but things are going so well!  We couldn't be more happy with our decision!  She is the sweetest pup!    She doesn't do well on her leash yet and still doesn't really know her name, but she's so cute it doesn't even matter.  She loves playing fetch & snuggling and the kids couldn't love her more!

FAMILY VIDEO :: January 2017

If there is one thing I started on January 1 that I want to keep up with until December 31, it's these videos!  I've been recording 1 second of video on my iPhone each day and uploading it to the app called 1SE {One Second Everyday}.  It's SO easy, and it brings so much joy to us!  I'm terrible about taking any video, so this has helped me to capture their little voices and such.  I just treasure these real life clips so much...
