BEING THANKFUL | HICKORY, NC CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

As Thanksgiving approaches and we prepare for our feast of good food and time with our little family, I want to express my gratitude. I am thankful for so many things on a daily basis. Things I may sometimes take for granted like food, water and shelter to fulfill my basic life needs so that the rest of it can be enjoyed more thoroughly all the way up to the big things. The biggest of which is my husband and children. My boys are my everything, just like most people’s children are. They have allowed me to experience life fully and with LOVE!!! Love that is beyond compare. All of you parents know what it is like and know it can’t be described. I took these two apple picking at the end of October when they had a day off from school and with my camera on my shoulder I captured a few memories from the day. The moments are passing too quickly and they are growing more each second. With our last baby boy on the way due in March, I am striving hard to Mother well and remember the little things that make up this life as we complete our family and enjoy each other.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season full of special memories and giggles. For those going through hard times or dealing with pain (we have a bit of that going on around here with our dog baby, more on her later) … I hope you can find some peace and comfort and growth through it all. Life throws a lot at all of us all the time and I suppose that is really all we can do and take away from experiences that are not on our wish list. Sigh … it makes me smile though to look at these pictures, so I’m sharing them =).
