more fall pictures of Ava Marie & Katy

I just love these pictures of the girls! I can not wait to scrapbook them. This is a blessed day! I needed a day like this, so much stress lately from Aidan's birth mom. I won't go into that right now. I need to concentrate on good things. Today everyone in our home is healthy, we have plenty to eat, we have beauty and warmth surrounding us, and we feel loved. God is good...I am thankful for all of this and more.

sunlight, fall colors and beautiful brown girls!

It was such a beautiful, bright, sunshiny kind of day. The girls had been in most of the morning doing schoolwork and I just grabbed my camera and said let's go outside to take some pictures. Of course my girls are so shy...not! Ava Marie and Katy both love to have their pictures taken!

And it is hard sometimes to get just the right amount of light and shadow when you are working with darker skin. Sometimes Katy's pictures turn out so dark you can not see her gorgeous features. I think today the light was just right!
