We're back...

Well, we're back from Arkansas, twice...unfortunately, a mere few days after we left, my great grandmother passed away at her home at the age of 99 1/2. (yes, the 1/2 does matter at that age!!) She lived a wonderful life and will be missed by so many. Unfortunately, we had to drive to Arkansas for that trip, and let's just say--we won't be doing that again!! Traveling in a car with a 5 1/2 month old for that long of a trip is MISERABLE! Our poor little girl just didn't tolerate the trip there that well. Thankfully, the trip home wasn't as bad...but we felt so bad that she had to endure it at all! :( What should have been a 12 hour trip turned into 24 on the way there! Needless to say, we were exhausted! It was a nice service, and I was blessed to be able to go home for it. I was happy to see my family, even under the circumstances! Faith did wonderfully once we got there...even thorough the RECORD breaking heat wave! (There were days that we were there that the heat index was in the 120s...oh how i HATE humidity!!) It was even too hot to swim!! We tried to jump in the pool, but it was TOOOOO warm! Anyways, I am thankful we were able to go when we did and get our wonderful pictures and memories captured before my granny passed away...5 generations is such a blessing, especially at my age! I was lucky to have my granny for as long as we did...we'll all miss her terribly! :(

Here are some more pictures from our first trip...taken by the WONDERFUL Natasha Parvin! Look her up on blogspot or on facebook: Butterfly Kisses...Memories by Natasha! She was so amazing...and went the extra mile to finish a couple of pictures from our family portrait and have them printed off for us at VERY SHORT notice! She even hand delivered them to our house to make sure we had them for the services. We are so amazingly BLESSED to have had her document our memories, and we will definately be using her for our family pictures from now on!!
