Special Outings

Hello again! I hope your week is off to a stellar start! Our last few days have been full of fun things that were a bit out of the ordinary. It was a treat to spice it up a bit! On Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend a brunch with a few other bloggers from Minnesota. Lindsay organized it, and we enjoyed delicious food at the French Meadow Cafe. For more photos from our blogger meet-up check out Lindsay’s blog, Pink & Navy Stripes! (Thanks for the picture, Lindsay!)Late Saturday afternoon we took some family photos! Despite the wind, sleet, and cold temps, Ashleigh managed to get a few shots that will work great for our Christmas cards. Minnesota friends, Ashleigh Rachel Photography does a great job working with families – she is incredibly positive, calm, and patient! I highly recommend her! Here’s a sneak peak! If you’re local, would you please go and like her Facebook page? If we generate enough likes, we win a print package! After a great weekend, I packed up the kids yesterday morning and headed north to meet my friend Crista and her three precious kiddos! Crista and I were connected earlier this year through mutual acquaintances who put the pieces together for us that we were both going to be in the same situation. Like me, Crista has a little boy Baylen’s age, and identical twin baby girls. Having the same type of pregnancies along with the toddler to take care of, we have so much in common. I am beyond grateful that God brought this amazing woman into my life! We’ve been writing back and forth to each other, praying for one another as our girls were born and as we’ve transitioned into what it means to be a twin mom. Yesterday was the first time we got to meet in person, and what a joy it was to see our six healthy kids together. I am so excited to create many more memories together as our kids grow! Here’s the spectacular six…it isn’t the most picturesque shot, but Crista and I both agreed that it’s a glimpse into our everyday realities! I’m praising God today for these fun little adventures. Getting out and about was just what I needed! Thank you Lord for providing what we need when we need it! 

Have you done anything fun and out of the ordinary lately?

Love,

Amber
