"BUT MARY TREASURED UP ALL THESE THINGS AND PONDERED THEM IN HER HEART." LUKE 2:19

~ things i love with a capital P ~

PERSPECTIVE, pottery barn patio furniture displays, practically all track jackets, putting my hope in Christ alone, photography, pistachio nuts, parenting as a privilege, pairs of cute sunglasses, painful times deepening friendships, pink bubblegum ice cream (by the pint), perseverance, practical jokes, people, people i can trust, plumeria flowers, pearl earrings that were my grandma's, pantene smooth vitality conditioner, plopping clutter into the trash, pigtails all messed up after naptime on my girls, purel hand sanitizer, painting walls with color, pouring into people's lives, plush blankets, prioritizing, polished nails, pharmacies with 24hr drive-thrus, places where palm trees survive winter, packing away my 2009 "calendar", pacific northwest mountains & rivers, pie plates with fluted edges, purpose, puppies named bronson, preferring the word pacing vs. procrastinating, people who love to say i'm sorry more than they love to hear it, pocket-sized butterfingers, phone calls with special friends, piano music, patterned scarves, practicing not to presume things, planting flowers in pots, passion, penne pasta, panda bears reminding me of my love for HK & japan, pillows that are just right, praise & worship freeing people of pride & insecurities, paying for starbucks coffee with gift cards, putting on my running shoes, pomegranate mixed drinks, putting off dishes till company leaves, purses filled with lipgloss, people who can be vulnerable, parties for every occasion, politeness, plane rides to far away places, popcorn that's air-popped, paul marrying stephanie, pedicures, peaceful homes, price tags with a clearance sticker on them, pre-recorded tv watching, poverty prompting compassion, pieces of angel food cake & strawberries for breakfast, peeking in on my girls while they sleep, products from bath-n-body works, packs of trident spearmint gum, people who can laugh & be witty when life gets hard, paper plates in bulk, papa murphys garlic spinach chicken artichoke de-lite pizza, pretending my girls and i wrote 'put your arms around me' by natasha bedingfield for each other & singing/dancing to it each night after work to remind me to put grace & humor in EVERYTHING (towards myself & them) or it will feel like a really long work week, a very short life, and an inevitable amount of colorful language exposure that i couldn't possibly blame all on the playground...............

...The rest of February from behind the lens...

"CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT "PROMS" HAVE IN STORE FOR OUR BATHROOMS 10 yrs. FROM NOW!"
This is a series of pix. of the girls getting ready for the Daddy/Daughter Ball put on by Calvary Church
Hal didn't go this year (next time) but she was perfectly happy getting to use all of Eden's Hannah Montana Hair sparkles and Highlighter machine!
If I'd been taking maybe a few less pictures and not being an air head with the curling iron cord, the following wouldn't have happened all over dress pants, walls, doors, etc.....Yes, it's a whole bottle of hot pink nail polish!
None, the less and despite the hectic mess....I'm happy "this" could happen.

This picture of the corsage curiosity is kind of blurry, but mainly for the shot of Hallé in her diaper, hannah montana highlighted hair do, & princess crown!!

abby, eden, ella, jaedyn...their first "group date!"

Their first formal "hokey pokey"....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girls heaping bin of favorite "lovies" they pick out to sleep with each night...AND Mommy's two favorite and cutest lovies!

"No, we're not cold"
Danika, Izaak, Olivia, Eden, and Hallé
My babies out dancing in the rain before school one morning!

I don't love rain unless I'm with these two!
