"The best and most beautiful things can not be seen or touched, they must be felt with the heart."
We took to pinte
rest and with a few tweaks went completely overboard for our Valentine's shoot with Alexa Michelle Photography! Troy stayed up the entire day before, did not nap, and went to bed late. He was so well behaved that day but by the morning of these pics we'd pushed him too far. We had it all planned out; cupid wings, studious glasses and a dapper toddler. We all spend SO much time planning for beautiful moments in life only to have things fall apart and definitely not go as planned or heartbreakingly worse as we had hoped… After nap time I got my Nikon DSLR out and tried to get a few…. well a hundred more shots of us.
The outfits made us happy. We said that all day. What we never outright said is that it for a while they made us not think of missing Audrey and Bryn. We primped, propped, styled, laughed, and posed. The bustle keeps you busy but then it stops and the thoughts of them are there.
So thankful for these photos and this time as a family. Of course J.T. was missed by us all. Looking forward to having pictures done with him when he returns. It can't happen soon enough.
Hearts are heavy. Hearts are full. These emotions and feelings will never go away. Now we learn to live with these feelings day in and day out. Bryn and Audrey cannot be seen or touched but our hearts feel them daily.
