This past week has been difficult, to say the least. I’m trying, trying to remember that I am not in control. God is in control. But, that is so much easier said than done.
We can feel your prayers and our friends prayers all around us and we thank you repeatedly for them.
We are so thankful to my family for getting in the car, and immediately driving the 13 hours (and my sister flying in) and know how lucky we are.
We are thankful and lucky for each and every one of you, too.
I haven’t picked up my camera in a while.
But, I’m thankful they did. And, now I’m realizing it wasn’t a they it was a she. Because she isn’t in one single picture.
So, thank you Emily. Thank you for taking pictures and capturing the lives of my girls playing with grandma and grandpa and loving on them. And, next time you are here, we’d better make sure you are in the pictures, too.
We’re thankful for Grandma, who let #1 ride around the living room on her back and shoulders.
We’re thankful for Grandma riding the toy four-wheeler with #2. (Because, #2? Is not a very good driver.)
We’re thankful for Grandpa teaching #1 how to golf…well, putt at least.
And, bravely teaching #2 how to putt, too. I don’t think I would trust her with that golf club.
And, for teaching our girls how to share and be safe on that four wheeler at the same time. (And, quite thankful that #1 understands steering now..however, she doesn’t understand watching where she is going, just yet).
So, in these photos, capturing these moments, I’m finding some joy. Joy in their precious faces. Joy in their smiles. Joy in their perfect little bodies. Joy in knowing that God trusted us with these precious little girls.

glad you are able to find some positives and that your family has been there to wrap you up in love & support. praying for you & your family, Krystyn. Praying today went well for you at work!
Aww, that is so very sweet. And such wonderful pictures, too. xo
I have been behind on my blog reading commenting and while I have no idea what you are going through I am praying for you. You are right that God is in control.
thank you auntie em!!
so happy you found a little sunshine in this week…
Family is amazing like that. I’m so glad that you have them in your life, to help you through difficult times.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. You have a very special family to step in and offer up such love and support. You are in my thoughts and prays tonight, that God would surround you with his love and grace.
Big hugs.
Still thinking of you daily. There are really no words, but I wish there were. Just know there are big hugs and lots of prayers and love being showered on you from me. I hear often that God gives us nothing we can’t handle, so you truly are a strong woman.
That being said, the pictures are great and I am glad she took them for you. It looks like Grandma and Grandpa totally rock! 🙂
I am so sorry. Just getting back now and catching up on my reader. Hugs.
Still sending prayers your way. So glad that family could come and be with you!
