Picture Update

We took our annual trip to Texas this month and as I have the past 2 trips, I've taken the opportunity to catch up on pictures! As busy as our house is, it's an easy thing to do when there's at least 3 extra adults hanging around most of the time to get everyone ready for pictures and out to a different scene than normal. I just did a quick edit on these tonight, but I'll probably be playing around with them some more over the next couple weeks 😉

So here it is! We'll start with Nolan, who just turned 5 this month. He's my easy-going as long it's on my normal schedule guy that makes taking photos a breeze.

Next birthday is Callie who is turning the big 1-0 this year and suddenly I'm old enough to have a kid who's reached double digits! She's a great help to me every day and is really creative and musical.


We also took her yearly photo for her Class of 2026 as I grow book!

Gabriel is 7 and 1/2 now. He's trouble with a capital T! Creative and smart like his sister, but often scattered, jumping from one thing to the next. His gears are always turning and just like his pictures suggest, it's not always easy to capture him! 


Gabriel is in the class of 2028! 

Last, but certainly not least, in Skylar who turned 3 in September. She is a pistol! Constant motion, constant daredevil, constant, constant, constant . . . This girl does everything full force and the rest of us make a poor attempt to keep up. Capturing her through the lens of my camera is no small feat. Most of her pictures were blurry beyond repair! 


So, there you have it, a picture update for everyone. Well, you may notice 3 people are missing! I'll give you one more with us adults:

That will have to do for now! We cannot share pictures of our precious Zoe publicly until we take custody. If you've been attempting to follow our adoption journey, please get in touch with me! I do have a special FB group that is updated every time we get any information. Until next time! 

God Bless you and yours this week!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
