People are often surprised and curious about the span of our five boys and the adventures we have. The simultaneous life events that traditionally don't coincide and all the little moments in between remind us—this is what matters most.

Last week, we went from college drop off for our oldest to the first day of kindergarten for our youngest. Yes…wow! A dear friend once said to me, "The world needs your kids!" And here we are with deep roots and big hearts, all ready to soar!

You can feel the energy growing as we prepare each of them to be on their way.  

When you close your eyes, these are the moments you dream of…smiles you can immediately feel in your heart. An embrace. Tears that slowly fall down a face you love. The sound of laughter. All captured as different images…moments in time in your mind.  

It all really makes me take a step back and think about the time that has passed, and how we have chosen to spend the time that we are given.  

If you’re looking to capture a moment in time with your family this fall, reach out and let’s embrace the craziness of this season together.
