Treasure the little things | Lifestyle Portraits

On a personal note...I am thankful for the time I get to spend with my family. I am learning to cherish those times as well as take time from my crazy busy life for the small things in life. You know like playing mommy for my nephew when my sister in law and brother need me...picking up the niece and nephews bath toys out of the tub...fixing a bottle while they are "starving"...playing chase...taking them outside just because they want to...getting in the baby pool with them in my workout clothes because they won't get in by themselves...buying them a new outfit...giving them a drink of my water because they love sucking out of a straw...swinging them around just to see them smile and laugh...giving them kisses...you know...those little things in life we take for granted! Sometimes I get sooo wrapped up in work and what not that I don't take a deep breath, relax and enjoy life.
These were taken several weeks ago when I was at the beach with my family in Destin.

My little man! (aka as my nephew...just to clarify) this is his first experience in a baby pool...he wasn't too sure about it at first...he sat in my lap for a good while!!

I truly believe that Jesus gives us the little things in life to enjoy! I hope you all will treasure those little things in life and not take them for granted...I am soooo blessed and undeserving of what the Lord has given me....and I have sooo much to be thankful for!
