When I think of all the places my family has travelled, all the beaches my children’s tiny toes have touched, I am in awe of all God has done.  What a precious, blessed life we live as a military family.  With this life comes sacrifice but so many other families sacrifice more than we will… Continue reading Sand Between Their Toes

Parque del Alamillo

This past Veteran’s Day we decided to head into Sevilla to the Parque del Alamillo. Joe’s co-worker told him about this big park, near Sevilla’s Olympic Stadium. It reminded me of Central Park in NYC.  Chirping birds, orange groves, beautiful paths and lots of trees to climb. It was a weekday and all the Spaniards… Continue reading Parque del Alamillo

Summer To-Do List: Portraits in a Sunflower Field

One of our Summer To-Do List items was to take photos in a sunflower field. Our area is littered with sunflower fields and it is a sight to behold for a few weeks every June. The fields look like glittering, swaying miles of gold as far as the eye can see. The fields are grown… Continue reading Summer To-Do List: Portraits in a Sunflower Field

I made this canvas up about 2 weeks ago and… Continue reading 2010 Summer To-Do List
