Dustin...spontaneous, relational, goofy...we met the summer before my freshman year of high school right after my family's move to Northern Kentucky. Consequent summers were spent riding The Beast, cheating suspecting friends at cards, conquering death on rafting trips, and general merry making. The line between friend and brother was soon crossed. He chose a bride full of sweetness and wisdom and I am overjoyed to welcome her to the family!

Indomitable Jaelyn and her nine month old darling. Aren't they lovely?
Andrew's Urban Senior Session {Indianapolis, IN}
Andrew has a lively, unaffected nature. My first distinct impression of him is as an eighth grader heading a rabid pack of middle school boys in a dog-pile of a favorite male youth leader. I was able to get to know his (still wild) self better once he moved up into the high school ministry and found his passion and gift to point others to Christ through music evident. He bears a worshippers heart and talent and will continue to cultivate this on scholarship for trumpet performance at Ball State beginning this fall!
The Orchids' House
I want to move into this greenhouse. But, the cacti are possessive of their space, the orchids are uppity (I do believe orchids are the snootiest flowers....always delicately aloof), and the bonsais snore. So, perhaps we'll continue to just visit.

We raced the sun to Half Moon Rock and caught its final, glorious glance at these windswept lovers.

When your momma's water broke in the wee hours of the morning she washed the dishes, put away a load of laundry, and finished knitting a hat.
You're in good hands little man.

The start of the Christmas season in Sweden is December 13th: Saint Lucia’s Day.
On this morning, a family’s eldest daughter dons herself as Saint Lucia in white gown, red sash, and lighted candle crown, and awakens her family with traditional song, warm drink, Lussekatter (saffron buns), and ginger biscuits.
The holiday festivities, occurring during one of Scandinavia’s darkest days of the year, symbolize the true hope and light that Christ brings to a dark world at Christmas.
Legend has it that Saint Lucia (or Saint Lucy), who lived in Sicily around 300 AD, bravely brought sustenance to persecuted Christians hiding in catacombs during the terror of Roman Emperor Diocletian. Hands full, she fashioned a crown of candles on her head to light her way through the dark underground.
Last year my sisters, mother, and I took joy in fashioning a festive little St. Lucia's Day brunch photo inspiration for the Lala. I thought it only fitting to share the photos in this space today: St. Lucia's Day!
