I cannot get enough of this sweet girl.

I. love.

The way she stretches for 5 minutes when she wakes up.
The way she loves to snuggle.
How her hair sticks straight up, even after bathtime.
Bathtime.
Watching her kick and squirm.
Hearing her coo and share her smile.
Knowing, really knowing, how much the Lord must love His children because of how much we love her. For just being her.
The way she is already reflecting the character traits she was named for.
Her tiny little features.
Her growing range of facial expressions.
The way she has captured our hearts.

And I am her mom? Just wow.

Audra Rachel Thomas, I love you.

I couldn’t resist sharing these 2 frames from Audra’s first week…some of my favorites:

As many of you know, we welcomed our baby girl into the world at the end of May (pictures to come!). I had originally planned on taking time off from the blog until I began accepting clients again in August, but it turns out that my blog-writing withdrawal can’t it anymore! I really do enjoy connecting with you readers through the blog, so be on the look out for regular posting to resume, along with some additional features. To get back in the swing of things, I thought I’d share a frame I grabbed while we were out over the weekend that speaks to me of the easy-going nature of summer. What about you? What have you enjoyed about the summer of 2010 so far?

Until next time!
