Meet Autumn | 126

Hello, Lovelies

Autumn is a cute, excitable, sassy five year old. Her laugh is infectious, and she is super sensitive. She is so funny; she acts upset but hides her face so you don't see her smile. Autumn gets unhappy and can be a force to reckon with, but she is also a joy to be around. It's impossible not to smile when you see her.

I had the opportunity to babysit her this past Saturday for seven hours. The photo above with her playing in the sprinkler is the second of two photographs I had the chance to take. She would grab the sprinkler and point it at me despite my telling her not to because of my camera. I quickly took the pic, then I snuck off for two seconds to put my camera away. Autumn really wanted me to play in the water with her, but at the same time, wanted me to take her picture. She just wouldn't make up her mind!

She was a delight to watch, and I may a hand full of times more before summer is up. Of course, I'm not excited nearly as much as she is.

Hello, Lovelies

People are like flowers. More specifically, roses.

Roses are pretty to look at, nice to smell, and very delicate. Without the proper care and conditions, roses won't grow. They will wither and die. Even without water for just an hour or two, they will droop. Thorns are roses number one defense mechanism.

People are delicate, too. Because we are so delicate, we tend to put up our defenses just to keep on keeping on. It's a struggle life. People guard themselves from getting hurt, much like a rose has thorns to keep bugs and animals away. Just another way to survive.

People are delicate, but they don't like to think that they are. Our society tells people that they have to be tough, manly, strong. Really, it's okay not to be those things. It's okay to hurt. It's okay to feel. It's even okay to cry.

No dramatic, complicated, over-the-top reason is needed.

It just is.

Because we are delicate.

Zach's Sophomore Photos

Hello, Lovelies

The other day, well, really it was the other night, I took some photos of my brother, Zachary. My family had a bonfire, and the lighting was pretty near perfect. I think they turned out great. My brother may not like getting his photo taken (working on getting him to let me take his senior pictures in a couple years *crosses fingers*), but if I beg, he will stay long enough for me to get a few good ones. Take a look.

My brother's eyes are so pretty! (So are my boyfriend's!)

I don't think my brother realizes his potential. I see it. Although he may not believe me, I know that he can accomplish anything as long as he desires to. I can't wait to see the man he grows into; he's well on his way. He still has some growing up to do, but at the same time, who really wants to grow up?

Tanys, his girlfriend, is a lucky girl in my opinion.

I love my entire family, brother included. 

No. Matter. What.

This House | 124

Hello, Lovelies

This is my home. It wasn't always, but really it was. I grew up in this house. This house holds many memories for me, and, through time, was made my home. Between every other weeks and Tuesday nights, this house was made for more than just sleeping.

This house was made for cooking and cleaning. This house was made for many Christmases and birthdays, many parties and dinners. This house was made for baking cookies and cuddling kittens. This house was made for marking the growth of all who have, do, and will live in it. This house is for memories.

When my parents divorced, my dad moved back in with his parents. Slowly, each of his three kids moved in also. Slowly, each of his three kids will move out. I don't know what the Lord holds for this house, but I hope it's something good.
