mama's day

Mama's Day - 2011

I waited a long time to be a Mama. Looking back over our journey to become a family, I'm glad the Lord made us wait as long as we did. If we hadn't looked to the Lord and waited, we wouldn't have our little Lilah.

And I believe all that waiting has made me appreciate every single tiny little detail of being a mama.

Every single day is my day, another day with my beautiful girl. I couldn't be happier.

On a day like today, I could never forget the mother that carried my daughter for nine months and gave birth to her. And God, who entrusted her to us, to love and cherish.

  3. Aww, thanks Deb.
    Yes, I set up the camera and he snapped. :) He's not half bad, as much as he moaned and groaned about it! ;) Haha! That's why I love him so!

  10. Beautiful mama / daughter portraits! Great snapping, Colin, and great creative direction, Jill! I love how the red / brown of your hair picks up on the red / brown of your boots, the brick and the bench in the background. The colours are all so rich in these photos.

    Happy belated Mama's Day!
