I have been wanting to get some cute photos of my two girls in their Easter dresses from this year, but the weather has been a little hit or miss for me. This past Sunday, Rachel and I were able to squeeze in a quick shoot down at a local park near our house....

We are at the hospital !!!!

I got the welcomed wake up nudge from Rachel this morning at 3:20am. . . “Ben, I think you need to call Gerhardt and see if he can come over and watch Grace. I think my water just broke.”   It didn’t me long to get out of bed and into action.  Thankfully Gerhardt answered his...

And we wait. . .

Well today is the due date for Rachel to give birth to our second daughter.   This morning I was reflecting back to the days before we had Grace.  I remember being in almost surreal state of shock at how much this little child will change our life.  Looking back, I hadn’t even scratched the surface at...
