A Day in December

The photos below are from one afternoon in December.

It started with a hike near our home.

Afterwards we went to pick out a Christmas tree at a local farm. The tree's name was Mr. Toad. No seriously, they name every tree at the farm. It's awesome.

It was a good day.

Keanan Update

He's coming home. God is good.

Read here for the details.

Keanan

I've been following the Howertons' blog for some time now. For the past 3 years Kristen and Mark have been trying to adopt their son, Keanan, from Haiti. Kristen and her youngest daughter were in Haiti visiting Keanan last week when the earthquake hit. On Friday the military brought Kristen and her daughter home, but they had to leave Keanan in Haiti. As you can imagine, she was devastated. They are now seeking humanitarian parole for their son to try to bring him home as quickly as possible. But they need help. You can read more about this process and what you can do here.

In December I got inspired to capture Clara in her day-to-day happenings.

Here are some shots of Clara being, well, just Clara.




Curious.

Self-assured.

Strong.

Coy.

Independent.

Doubtful.

"Serious."

Ask her to smile and this is what you get. Seriously.

Silly.


And now, the grand finale...

The bucket on her head!

Yep, that's our peanut. And boy, do we love her.

Running running!

On our way to Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz.

Why, hello there blog.

Even Clara finds our lack of posts laughable.

We apologize for our horrible abandonment of the blog. December was busy as normal and we hope to catch up on posts in the next week or so.

Happy New Year.
