in explanation of my absence

judging by my lack of blog posts lately, you might think it's been a slow season around here.  not so much.  in actuality, i've been delightfully slammed with things in all directions - bridal sessions, newborn sessions, weddings, and meetings in preparation for more weddings. 

but one thing stands out from all the rest...



many of you know that we just returned this weekend from our second trip to ethiopia, and this time some seriously adorable extra cargo made the trip back with us.  meet our newest son, micah...



add him to our other three blessings and we've got a full home...and fuller hearts.



oh, and several people have asked how the former baby of the house, isabel, is doing with the adjustment of having a little brother with us now.  ummm, i think you could say things are going pretty well.  :-)
