Embracing the Snow

This week has brought more snow, some sleet and yesterday some rain. It seems this winter is never-ending. The weather man tells me that average temps for this time of the year should be hitting 40-degrees by next week. We've barely even seen 30s!! We are in a warming trend 'til Sunday, but then the "Polar Vortex" is suppose to be return. Really?! Ugh.

So, in an attempt to embrace the snow, I begged talked my youngest into a photoshoot in the snow. Once I talked it up, she got on board and actually got into it. My oldest was out for the day, but I did manage to get her out for a few minutes after dark for some night shots. 

I'm happy to get these mini sessions with my girls. Time is really flying by. I'm glad for the rare opportunities when they allow me to pull out my camera and capture them. 

Do you remember when your kids were born and everyone told you the time would fly by? I have always known that to be true, but never thought it would go by this quickly.  Marking the halfway point of  her middle school years, Morgan is blossoming into a beautiful young lady, discovering who she is and finding her place in this world. 

She is naturally bright and is bubbling with life and personality.

It has been a joy to watch Addison blossom since starting high school last year. She has grown from a shy, quiet little girl into a confident young lady. She is determined, self-motivated and bright. Her laugh is contagious. 

 

She is in the process of figuring out what she wants to do with her life and starting to think about college. It is a crazy time and it's all happening too fast! 

It sure is a busy time in our lives, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.  

I love being their mom.
