Deondra and I had fun out on the trail taking some pics of the girls. Halle is so her dad and is a little fireball yet has such a sweet spirit. Precious Laina is a spitting image of her mama and is as easy going as they come.
Levi and Ashley are an adventurous fun couple! We were in couples bible study together and had a good time getting to know them better. They love Jesus and have a crazy love for each other. They are moving to Arizona so we did a farewell California shoot.
Nellie and Hazel came all the way from PA for Christmas. They did so great taking pictures on their Beepe's porch. Hazel even wore a sweater that was her moms as a little girl! I brought Vander with and he was standing behind me in most of the pics making faces, how could you not laugh at that crazy kid? :)
More than a 1985 Mr. Mister song, Kýrie, eléison is Greek for "O Lord, have mercy." The infallible fount of information, Wikipedia, calls the Kyrie a prayer that "is simultaneously a petition and a prayer of thanksgiving; an acknowledgment of what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will continue to do."
Oh Lord, have mercy on us all!
This sweet baby came in such a rush that there was no time to get to the hospital! Kristen is such a stud that she woke up in the middle of the night to give her daughter a drink and felt a few pains. She called her mother in law to come watch the kids while they went to the hospital and by the time she got there in 5 minutes Kristen was on the bathroom floor about to have Kyrie. Perfect baby by the way. She is beautiful Kristen and I love her name!!
For Christmas we wanted to do something special for the Ploogs so we attempted to get a picture of all 8 grandkids ( 7 boys under 4 ) So fun to grow up with cousins all around!!
