I must admit one of my favorite things about my ipad, is the ap Instagram. It is so fun!

It may not be professional photo quality ;-) – but there is something fun and memorable about these square pictures.

Here is just a few from the past few days.

Yesterday morning my friend Nichole went into labor.

I was on the birth plan to watch her children when this happened… but of all days, my phone was downstairs and my husbands phone silenced… so at 7:30am when our kids woke us, Travis looked at his phone and saw a missed call…. it was them….

And sure enough, the labor went fast… meaning when they called, we needed to be there… and werent. Thankfully another neighbor was and got there soon enough for them to make it to their midwife. Let me just say, she barely made it! The Lord sure answered her prayer in giving her a speedy delivery. :)

I felt terrible… but I know they know we did not mean for that to happen.

From 9:30am – 2:30 or so however we did keep their younger 3 kids. The lady who originally had them, was due to travel that day for Christmas… so after all the kids got up, we just went and picked them up.

It was a busy morning at our house with 6 children under age 7.

Gave me a little peek into what Nicholes life may be like ;-) – phew, busy busy busy.

But the Lord is so good.

Their baby girl is here safe and so stinking cute. Such a blessing.

I always like seeing photos of my kids when kept by others… so here are some photos from our morning with the Boggs ;-)

Whole grain Breakfast Cinnamon Rolls were a hit.

& for lunch… Pizza! – its all I could think of that would feed the masses ;-)
Esp. since our fridge had ZERO meat in it… we were in dire need of groceries.

& A movie, is always a hit.

- Nichole & Keith congrats!! We can’t wait to meet baby Mercy.

Anyone else having a weekend full of parties?

It seems as if that is the trend this week/weekend.

Wednesday we had one at our Pastors house (so awesome him and his wife Janet open their home up to so many) – and friday we had our Sunday School party. Childcare btw was provided both times! What a blessing.

Then Sunday we will celebrate Taites’ 5th Birthday with a fairly non-elaborated ;-) yet sweet party. He had a few friends he wanted to invited.

I set up a photobooth at our Sunday School Party last night. It wasn’t fancy, only had one flash, and a small wall – but it was a fun way to show off white elephant gifts and sillies.

Tonight I will attend a big Christmas Party with a local photographer, to photograph over 200 couples. I thankfully will be running lightroom, instead of doing the photo side of things ;-) – so I get to kick back and watch someone else work, which I think will be good for me.

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend…
