My Jack-man is 5 months old!

Jack may be 5 months now.. but these were taken well over a month ago as we got ready to celebrate his mom's 30th (shh don't tell her we told you) birthday... His dad and him came over to show off their matchy matchy duds... lookin' pretty spiffy eh! Jack is the cute one.. Matt ... well he is Jacks lucky daddy... and these are just a few from our time together...

....Jack has discovered his voice... he started to let me know just what he thought of the big fun flash on my camera... he has this thing for lights...too cute!
....every time the flash went away... he got a lil more upset... doesn't help dad woke him from a nap to play photo shoot...
...these next two I took a few days before the Camo shots... Jack and I got to spend the day together and well he scores a lil extra camera time thanks to a very bias Aunt Liz who just happens to think he might be the cutest lil man to cross her path as of late...

The Cross....

a symbol of faith... hope....love... truth... and the price paid for all....
enjoy... and remember!

Gates.. gates.... and MORE gates...

"But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." Matthew 7:14
I've always had a thing for gates... I would say it is mostly because of the scripture quoted above... there is something about them... they can let someone in or keep someone out... they can be made of many things. They can be simple or complex. You can lock them or keep them open... either way... there is just something... something about gates....

Stained Glass... old art... new inspiration.....

last fall I spent months working in the hill country... living at a little camp. Nestled among the camp is a beautiful and peaceful little chapel. Inside the walls, lit only by the afternoon sun, shaded by the trees... I found the following stained glass of saints.. the identities of the saints are important to some, but to me it is the art that is alive...
enjoy!!!
