snowy portraits

Mom has been asking for an updated portrait of me, so this morning Joe and I went out to take photos in the snow with our "church clothes" on. We traded portraits haha, I did his, and he did mine:)

 

first things first- kitty prints! aren't they darling!?

and last but not least, these two goofs taking a picture of themselves with an interesting angle choice ha!

the snow really is lovely, especially when the sun shines and gives that gorgeous back lighting.

If only it weren't so cold!

snow day in march

 We got a surprise snow day... the snowfall started in the morning, and by the end of the day, the ground was covered in fluffy white snow. Almost like we're still in February or something. haha, Indiana can never make up its mind weather wise.

caught the school bus going by after school.

cow pictures in the snow are my favourite.

I always make a point to take my camera to the pasture to photograph them in the snow.

"just a quick photo!"

footprint in the snow:)

my mini model.

Das ended up getting the camera to take pictures of me as well.

She was quite pleased with herself.

The snow was lovely.. I am ready for summer and sunshine, but the big snowflakes were very pretty to watch.. and being able to go out in them without worrying about my lungs was incredible !!

took it to work to share with the guys.. they loved it so much, only two pieces remained.

came home that same day to find 20 pieces of mail on the counter waiting for me... and a package from Jackson- a positive taco haha! mom got most of my people to send me birthday mail, and over the next 2 weeks, I got birthday cards/letters in the mail every single day. It was the best birthday gift!

The cats favour my Jeep for sun bathing lol!

Mr Potato:)

sunlight shadows are my favorite <3

This month was exceptional, but also quite difficult. I started in with sickness the week we got home from Emerge, and im still dealing with it... but all the love from my people and from the Father made it a beautiful and fulfilling month. Here's to the next 11 months!
