This blessed time full of baby smells and sounds, cooing siblings, and quiet family evenings comes with its hiccups, too! Daddy is away for the weekend, Gideon is colicky, and Mama is running on very little sleep. But still, as I smile over these pictures, I'm reminded not to let this time slip through my fingers. I hope you will enjoy these moments captured while I take a few more days to capture moments!
(Story coming... not so much of a birth story, but more of a life, death, and all the moments in between story... the last eight weeks were made of such, and God's hand was in the midst of it all. I can't wait to share it with you...)

(Oh- and my Gideon Justus is a redhead! That brings a smile of its very own...)

What a beautiful family! We just had our fourth as well, and it is so fun watching the other 3 making eyes at him and wanting to hold him, wondering where he is and what he is doing all the time.
Enjoy this time!
Gideon is beautiful! Looking forward to your story.

Elise,
He's absolutely gorgeous, and I love seeing the adoration that the rest of the family has for him. You are a blessed mama!
What a blessed, beautiful family you have!
So glad to see this update, dear friend! You all have been very much on our hearts and in our prayers these weeks, and we trust that God has been upholding you through it all.
Gideon is so very precious: I enjoyed the pictures. Enjoy all those moments...
Much, much love to all of you!
I kept thinking I'd let you know my favorite picture, but each one is better than the last. Blessings and rest, friend :)
Beautiful. Just beautiful! Oh, and my little Levi is a redhead too. He's the first one of mine with red hair and it makes me smile too. :-)

Aw-I enjoyed spending time tonight holding your precious one, listening to your giggle box boys, and miss E loving all things pink. You all are very special to us. XOXO
I don't even know you, but I can see that you are such a good mommy. It's so obvious in the eyes of your children. I am looking forward to reading your story. I was introduced to your blog by seeing your blog's name on someone else's blog. Your blog's name intrigued me. Thank you for letting me glimpse into your heart. And a huge congratulations on Gideon...he's beautiful!
Pure delight, Elise! Gideon is such a handsome little guy! (My favorite picture is the one of his face close up and peering at the camera!) So very cute.
Hugs to you and yours during this season of joy and sorrow,
