We marked this rite of passage for you in the strangest of days. The strangeness, though, is also saturated in moments and experiences that are extraordinarily precious. The day you turned thirteen, almost two dozen vehicles (along with one cyclist and some dears on foot) full of our friends and family drove past our front curb to show you just how loved you are. You had no clue this was happening, and when we asked you to join us in the front yard for a birthday lunch around the portable gas fire, you gave us a perfectly stereotypical eye roll. But, as your people rolled up with handmade signs, instrument accompanied songs, fresh bread, honking horns, special gifts, balloons and yummy treats - you lit up. I know you knew this was special. This was extraordinary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No, this was not what we had in mind. This was not the events you chose for such a paramount birthday. But my Hals, as your mom, I can't fathom a better gift. For you to see <i>your people, </i>despite a global pandemic, driving from all corners of the city, just for you.To see how we are blessed by such incredible neighbors, family, friends and a church being exactly what a church is meant to be. </div>

Now, to wrap my mind around the fact that my teeny, six pound baby girl is a teenager. I may be biased, but I think you're going to be great one. I love my time with you. Having the whole family home <i>all the time </i>has been a bit of a hard pill for you to swallow. Last week we both had a good cry over the sudden end to our first year homeschooling. Those were precious months. Your sisters have now joined us, and it is good, but it is different. Our alone times are fewer and we are navigating the dynamics that inevitably come with multiple learners in the home. I was reminded, as we talked, of a memory. I was driving our old car, back in 2009. It was the day before Maya was born, and I had a realization that just brought me to tears. We were so excited to meet your sister, but my heart needed to weep over the end of a chapter that would never come again. Obviously, we wouldn't choose to go back in time, and life only got better with your sisters' arrivals. (I will repeat this until it's stuck in your head!!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am confident that the same truth will ring true in all this. That amidst the things that have changed and the losses we have grieved, <i>we will come out of this thankful for what it has brought us</i>. In all things He works for our good. You know this already, and this will be further evidence. </div>

Halle Ruth - you are a beautiful soul. You have your Dad's critical thinking skills and inquisitive mind. You have a mushy tender heart like mine. You are giving, loving, persistent, sweet (with a solid balance of sass) and actually very funny and quirky. You are a phenomenal big sister. You are so beautiful and I am SOOOOOO proud of the little woman that is emerging before my eyes. I can't even believe it. I love you and thank God I get to be your mom.</div>

And, don't worry my girl, I'll still take you shopping when this is all done. </div>

<br />
My amazing girl. This will be a birthday to remember. The day before you turned 11, we climbed a beautiful mountain as the sun went down. You wore this gorgeous burnt orange jumper we scored at Value Village, and the sun lit your hair into a stunning, almost celestial halo. You, my girl, are a bright, bright light and I cannot imagine a backdrop more fitting to mark the gift of another year with you.<br />
<br />
The week of your birthday was probably one of the most bizarre weeks we have ever experienced and brought drastic changes to our plans, routines and expectations. And, while you are so excited to be getting a head start on home-schooling, you are also unsettled by strangeness of it all; you cling a little tighter and check in a little more often. You are very aware of the vast array of emotions that we have gone through in our home this week. It partly makes me proud of your perceptiveness and empathy, but it also makes me sad that I can't better hide my own struggles from you and your sisters. Inevitably, you being you, take on all the feelings of everyone, and so, my precious daughter, we must learn and grow together. We talked as a family, with bibles and hot drinks (that you prepared) this morning. We talked about how we are all experiencing grief and fear in some way over this silly virus and all its implications. We talked about how this can show up as anger, irritability, tears, and just general bad attitudes. We talked about how it was OK to feel these feelings, but it was not OK to set up camp, and stay in them. We talked about giving grace to one another as these feelings come and go - that sometimes you will be strong, and sometimes someone else will be. We talked about how God has a plan in this - in ALL of this - for our good, and His glory. My prayer is that through this time, BECAUSE of this time, that you will learn more about who you are, but more importantly about who HE is. That this will be a setting event in your life. That you will be able to declare confidently, that even in this, you have seen and tasted His goodness and His faithfulness.<br />
<br />
We set up a plan and a loose schedule for coming days - the organization and order of it made you absolutely sparkle. Me too :) On the morning you turned eleven, you woke up and baked yourself a beautiful cake. Earl grey layers with German buttercream frosting and raspberry compote. I offered to help, or even bake it for you, but we both know how that would have turned out. We spent hours in the kitchen, you baking and me cooking. We watched baking shows, played clue as a family, went for a walk and played basketball, and soaked in a nice long snuggle. We both agreed that the isolation kind of worked in your favor and though the day felt a bit strange, it was indeed, perfect. Pretty much like the day you were born. The beginning of a new chapter.<br />
<br />
Happy birthday my sweet one, I love you so.<br />

This beautiful girl of mine. She is something else. A bottle of vivacious potential that has been on a 24 hour road trip in a really bumpy car. Her personality and Anna-ness just <i>bursts</i> from her. This can be beautiful, wildly entertaining, and also the most exasperating thing ever. She is big into writing cards and notes - these sometimes are quite large and require 18 sheets of paper - but her words are thoughtful and expressive well beyond her years. School is a breeze for her and she yearns for a challenge...a project. The creativity in her is something to be hold. One night last month, she spent 2.5 hours completely by herself creating a "disneyland ride," out of cardboard and random junk drawer contents. It almost worked. And, while her verbal dialogue is ceaseless if you are with her (and, I mean, the words. don't. stop), she is also content to have large windows of time by herself. She loves her kitty, Frankie, and smothers him with all her love. He likes it...like actually likes it! They are meant to be :) She never sits facing forward when she eats, and is notorious for leaving part of her meal on the floor. She loves home decorating shows and frequently comments on Joanna Gaines' awesome style and excellent flooring selection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She makes hilarious videos. Honestly...leave your cellphone with her for an hour and see what you get. She struggles with herself. Her instincts are to explode - both good things and bad things. Her support of you and enthusiasm for something absolutely shines...and is loud! But, if there is injustice, or adversity, or piano practice, it's the same strength of instantaneous reaction. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am determined to champion this girl as she learns how to process all these feelings; she will be a powerhouse one day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every night before bed, I tuck her in with her 11 jellycat stuffies and numerous other soft friends. We rub lotion on her dry skin, and we pray. We ask God to give her patience, and peace when she doesn't feel it. We ask Him to help her keep loving others well, and for help loving her sisters when it's hard. And we thank Him. We thank Him for how He made Anna on purpose, with so many gifts and abilities. We thank Him that He has a plan for her, and that He will use her in mighty ways as she follows him. We thank Him that He has promised to be behind her and that He has also gone ahead of her. And He always forgives her and always loves her. And then, without fail, she buries her face into my neck and cheek and tells me she loves me. She often tells me I'm the best mom. She wraps her arms around her top three items that she sleeps with: her bunny, her buddy (blankie) and my old housecoat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And my precious eight year old baby goes to sleep. I love her so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy super belated birthday, my girl. It's OK to not get everything right all the time. Love, Mom</div>

Oh this night. It was so good. As a photographer, I usually arrive on a wedding day and capture the culmination of dreams and efforts of our dear couples. The day they have visioned, and I get to capture it. Pretty amazing job. A lot of photographers also put together what are called styled shoots. It is a labor of love and teamwork; gathering fellow vendors to do their master craft and get beautiful images in return. But you get to influence vision...so cool. It's been 19 years since I planned my own wedding day, so the opportunity to put together this golden hour, mountain top elopement, overlooking my neighborhood lake was just amazing. I'll be honest...I had visions of a grand pampas grass arch. I drove the streets of Victoria and creeped with giant sheers on boulevards. It was SO hard to find! But, of course, now I see copious amounts <i>everywhere</i> I go! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a momma, I choose to keep most of my spare time for family and friends. I must say though, that putting this session together <i>for fun and creative pleasure </i>was good for this artist soul. Huge thanks to my phenomenal cohorts...who baked the bread (pre-shoot snack of champions), fostered the vision, climbed the mountain, crafted the arch, patched the arch, held the arch, blew the grass and just did all the things not expected of them!!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">To my Halle
on your twelfth birthday,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I’m still
not quite sure how it’s possible that you are this old. That on this same day
next year, you will bear the proud title of “teenager,” … the years your Dad
and I have been warned about since you were just a wee babe. It’s apparently
going to get <i>really </i>interesting when
both your sisters get the title as well. We shall see. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Today I
reminisced the details of your beginning with a dear friend. Around thirteen
years ago I received a call from my doctor’s office. A special doctor, called a
reproductive endocrinologist. I hope you never have to see one of these guys.
We had been trying, unsuccessfully, for almost four years to start a family. We
had tried every trick, drug and procedure in the book. And without a hitch, we
failed, successively, reminded freshly each month. All this despite so many
prayers, so many tears, daily injections, weekly blood tests, really awkward
and painful procedures and a whole lot of money. Mother’s Day was awful and baby
showers were so very hard. I remember distinctly, giving out medications at
work one day, and hearing about a co-workers accidental pregnancy. It literally
took my breath away. So deeply we longed for you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Back to
that phone call. I was told by the receptionist that I didn’t need to get my
medication for that month’s cycle. The doctor had decided there was nothing
more that he could do, my body was simply too broken to make a baby. Another
loss of my breath, and tears upon tears upon tears. But…there was something we
could try. A cutting-edge procedure…done three places in the world, the closest
being McGill University in Quebec. So, we went, did all the things, and flew
home unknowingly… with YOU. Dream. Come. True.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">That, my
love, is your beginning from my perspective. But it is not lost on me that your
true beginning had nothing to do with us. Until your Creator breathed life into
you, until it was His time for your days to begin, for your story to intersect with
ours, we had to wait. And I can’t imagine a first born other than you!! Watching
you grow for the last twelve years is just the most insanely generous gift. You
have gone from a beautiful newborn stranger, to a spunky, strong-willed toddler.
From a painfully shy little kindergartner, to an incredibly brave middle
schooler. And while I always be your mom first and foremost, I see glimpses of
times ahead when you will also be my friend. I am so proud of you. There is a
strength emerging from you that I wouldn’t have predicted. You are so tender,
but you have a good dose of your father’s logical thinking (blessing and a
curse, baby girl;) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">As your mom, I take the greatest joy and receive the most
soothing peace, confident that your days ahead…these crazy impending teen years
and beyond… are known by that same Creator who began your story at exactly the
right moment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I love you…I
love being your mom. Happy Birthday my Hals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Last week Maya's teacher shared with me a book called, The Good Egg. She had read it to the class that morning and was so excited about it, as she felt like it was such a "Maya" book. She is a wise, perceptive woman. This book tells the tale of wonderful egg. Extremely well behaved, thoughtful of others, kind, always looking after the needs of others before herself. The problem was that this good egg was surrounded by other eggs that didn't concern themselves with the things that she did. They were selfish, disobedient and basically caused chaos. And the good egg started to crack...under the weight of trying to keep all the other eggs in line, to keep them obeying the rules and behaving properly. It was too much.<br />
<br />
My dear Maya, on your tenth birthday. You love with an incredibly deep love. You give and help beyond what is expected of you. You seek to bless, to mend, to make right. You bruise easily and forgive repetitively. You have a love for justice. This is a hard thing to value when a certain sister consistently walks on the fringes of our home justice system. But we love her no less, and you, no more. I think that this baffles you and bothers you...and that totally makes sense, my sweet girl.<br />
If I could give you one gift on your birthday; it would be this. That you would fully and deeply understand why you are so loved, why you are so valued...so incredibly precious. That there is no points system in real love, as much as we all love to keep score. The lesson you are learning, the path that is unfolding before you reminds me so much of my own. The thought that I have somehow lead you this way with my own tendencies to control, with my own messes, absolutely breaks my heart. But that isn't a good place for our brains to sit. So, I will champion you my sweet girl. I will teach you and show you that you are a precious daughter, not because of what you do, but Whose you are. I want you to <i>know</i> that in the deepest part of your soul and walk in the peace and freedom that comes with it. And I know my words aren't enough. I can't just tell you the things - "don't be anxious, don't worry, it's OK if it doesn't look right, it's OK if it's messed up..." I have to <i>show </i>you those things.<br />
<br />
And I realize, right now, as I write this, that this is even more evidence of the goodness of our God! That He knew, before either of us took a breath and started to keep score, before the weight of the world ever touched our shoulders... He knew. That to be the Mom I want to be for you... to give you that gift I so badly want you to have... I have to go first. To Him, to His <i>truth. </i>Over and over, day after day. And because of that, and sooooooo many other reasons, you, my Maya, are a gift. One of my greatest gifts and I love you so very much.<br />
<br />
* Thankfully my girl doesn't take after me when it comes to baking. She takes after her Grammie. My heart absolutely melted today watching my mom teach her how to make custard. Pictured below our usual birthday pics are some photos of Maya baking cookies. They were ridiculously good...sorry...there's none left.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today my baby is seven. She has waited for this day with such anticipation. Always trying to catch up with her sisters, and never quite able to close the gap. I love her so much. We have seen such huge growth this past year in Anna...she made such a giant leap from little girl to big girl. She can read anything now, and I often find her bible open on her bed. She has lost much of her clinginess, and flies out the door to school and social events without much of a backward glance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her biggest struggle and her biggest gift (how it usually goes for most of us) is her feelings. This girl FEELS her feelings...everything is magnified. Her excitement is contagious and loud. Her sense of disappointment is devastating and loud. Her anger is explosive and loud. Her love is overflowing and....loud. She does things big and I trust and pray that she will use this gift one day like her Dad - that she will lead and make a difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that one day is coming fast...too fast for this mom. While I absolutely LOVE the stage we're in now; when I let myself rewind 7 years ago to this moment, holding my fresh, perfect baby....my heart hurts. We have this sweet video from when Anna was probably 2 months old, and I am singing to her, and she is just staring up at me with a full body smile. She still gets that exact same expression at bedtime sometimes, when I tuck her in. I am still able to set her world right with a song, a snuggle and a prayer. And I know that won't last forever either. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This whole "being a mom" thing really does wreck you in the best way, and I am so incredibly grateful that I get to be wrecked by Anna...my bonus baby...I had no plans for her of my own, but so, so glad that God took matters into His own hands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And in closing - a promise Anna made to me yesterday: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anna: "Mom, cats kiss so gross. With their tongues!!!!!!! I am never, ever going to 'cat kiss' anyone. Especially a boy." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Me: "Do you promise, Anna?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anna: "I promise."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Me: "mmmmhmmmm"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Birthday baby girl. I love you so very much.</div>

As many of you know, earlier this month, Steve and I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Italy. This post is already photo heavy, so I don't want to add TOO many words, but I think a few are necessary. And let's be honest, with the state of this momma's brains (or lack thereof) these days, it will help me to remember too! Here we go!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our first, very brief stop, was a layover in Frankfurt. Neither of us have ever been to Europe, so we really wanted to jump on every opportunity to explore. This 6 hour layover was the first.<br />
I grew up to the sounds of my grandparents speaking Plautdietsch, a low german dialect, so it was really neat to hear some familiar words and see a small bit of that influence.<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">And where to begin with Bella Roma! The seeds of this trip were planted by my precious friend Larissa (pictured below). Larissa is Italian and grew up in this incredible city. Her parents are missionaries in the city and have been for the last 38 years. Steve was invited by Larissa's parents to come speak at their church, and I of course was eager to see this beautiful part of the world that gave my friend her flair for fashion, food, and high quality cappuccinos. We prepared with lists, travel books, multi-course meals and basic Italian lessons: "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">due cappuccini per favore!" She neglected to tell us that if we wanted to cross the street, we simply needed to step into raging traffic and act like we weren't scared to die. I could say much about what we saw and did, but I will let the pictures speak. I will say that we are so grateful that we got to see this city through the eyes of a local, and her qualified husband (who has a PhD in history!!!) Many thanks also to Larissa's kind and hospitable parents who hosted us for the week, giving up their own bed and I don't know how many containers of the most delectable yogurt I have ever eaten!</span></span></div>

At the high recommendation of Larissa's hubby, Steve (yes, another Steve), we decided to spend one of our days in Venice. I'm so glad we listened to him. We got up at an insane hour to catch our 5am train, but it was well worth it for 9 hours in this magical place. I actually think one day was just the right amount of time. It really did feel otherworldly...like a movie set. It was crowded and maze-like, and absolutely picturesque. See if you can find the picture of me "tickling" the gondolier!</div>

Following our time in Rome, Steve and I planned to end our trip with a few days in southern Italy, along the Amalfi Coast. We took a train from Rome to Naples, and then arrived in Positano after the most stunning ferry ride on the Mediterranean. I had seen photos of Positano on Instagram, and it truly did not disappoint. The opposite - it completely exceed expectations. Set on the side of a mountain the city was built up. It has one road for vehicles, and thousands of stairs and pathways. I found a crazy deal, and we stayed at the most incredible boutique B+ B, <a href="https://www.lacasadipeppe.com/">La Casa di Peppe</a>. We dined on pizza made in front of our eyes, local wine, the occasional dish of pasta, and an afternoon serving of gelato...all washed down with several cappuccinos per day. We walked tens of thousands of steps each day, swam in the sea, shopped in the shops and took a pile of photos.<br />

I really do hope to return to this beautiful country one day. And even if I am not with them, I hope my girls can drink it all in for themselves one day too! Ciao ciao!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, on her eleventh birthday, Halle declared that she didn't want to get any older...just stay this age forever. When asked if she didn't look forward to driving in five years, or becoming a teenager in two, her response was, "nope." As her mother, I must confess, I'm totally cool with that too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But as each years passes, I am increasingly aware of time's speed, and solely ascending direction. Her "nope," doesn't stand a chance. Mine doesn't either. And so we look forward, half dreading the growth, the uncharted territory...the further loss of the <i>little; </i>but there is also anticipation. There are new milestones, new depths...so much to learn and experience. I know that she feels it too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing the girls absolutely love is watching old videos from when they were itty bitty. They think it's hilarious and adorable, and I just weep :( There is one video in particular when Hal is about 15 months old. We are sitting on towels in the backyard, hanging out in the sunshine. She's wearing a cute floral swimsuit, and attempting to drink out of a big girl cup, water everywhere. Her little high pitched voice is chattering away and her precious bottom is plump with a wet diaper. I remember it so sharply, which is crazy, because so much of those early years is a blur. It was one of those moments where you are acutely aware of the sweetness and goodness of this mom life. I watched this video and just felt wrecked that my precious squish of a toddler was gone. I miss her, and yet I still have her. So strange. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so I begin this next year of my motherhood journey determined. Determined to notice and soak in the sweetness of my 11 year old. To relish the fact that she wants to go shopping with me and hold my hand in the mall. To watch as she tenderly plays with and loves on younger kids - she is so good with them. To hear her thoughts about friends and school...and the increasing feelings and emotions attached to these things. I will savor those moments when she plays with her sisters...right down at their level. I want to listen to her vent about those same sisters, and how she's "too old" to play playmobil with them all the time. I will sneak glances at her reading on the dog bed in the corner of her room. I will smile as she does the flossing dance with all the energy in the world. I will teach her the basics of makeup - how to not "over-rub" your lips together so that the tint of your lip gloss gives you a moustache. I will still hold her when she cries and check on her again in 15 minutes. I will even try and be good with the incessant requests for a phone, and expressions of displeasure with piano practice. </div>

Because I know that now will become then. So fast. And one day I will have a 21 year old daughter, and wish that just for a moment I could scoop up the eleven year old version of that girl and plant kisses all over her face, while she laughs her head off.</div>

Halle Ruth - I love being your mom. So very much. I loved you then, I love you now, I'll love you always :)</div>

How it's possible that she's <i>nine</i>, and entering the twilight of her elementary years is beyond me. She can take a boiling pot carefully and masterfully off the stove. Her ability to spell has eclipsed both of her sisters, and is close to par with mine (oh the glory of my spelling test years). Though, if she had her way, I would still snuggle and sing her to sleep each night, rubbing lotion on her dry knuckles.</div>

She has had her heart bruised this year with playground dynamics; but she also experienced the joy of seeing her besties waiting for her at church this morning, faces smooshed against the glass, waiting to gift their birthday girl with a paper sack of candy. At school, last month, they had a lockdown drill and for the first time I know she felt the evil and the severity of what they were practicing for. She emotionally recounted to me that they weren't allowed to open the door for anyone once the order was issued - even if one of her friends was screaming at the door. She wasn't allowed to help them. I hate that she knows this. But she also knows the pure lightness of dancing with her dad and sisters upstairs (which they are doing this very minute...to some of Steve's secret favorite pop tunes). Laughter and the occasional snort ring from the room. Her spirit is so thoughtful...too thoughtful sometimes; she is often the first to ask me if something is wrong. She longs for connection and activity. Like her Dad, she is not one to sit still for any length of time. School comes easily to her, patience with her sisters isn't as swift. She is following in my footsteps, loving order and cleanliness - everything as it should be. I know the downside to this all too well, and I pray that she will learn early when to let things go; how to grab a moment by it's horns and clean the floors later. I want to model this for her better. I am so thankful for our incredible community; our friends and family that show her this continually. A village is a great place to grow up in.</div>

One moment that I want to mark happened last fall when our family was in Hawaii. If you remember last year's <a href="http://www.meganedelmanphotography.com/2017/03/maya-turns-eight.html">post</a>, Maya had been quite sick and hospitalized just before her birthday. The tickets to Hawaii were booked the week before, and I remember sitting beside her bed holding her little hand, terrified at the thought that she might not be on that trip with us. It was the most fear I have ever felt. Fast forward to November, all five of us walking on Waikiki Beach. I was holding the very same little hand, only this time the body attached to it was skipping, dancing between the finest grains of sand and the warmest ocean water those toes had ever touched. And it just washed over me like something physical. That moment of fear in contrast to the moment we were in now. She was here. She was with us. If moments can be perfect, that was one of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the songs I sing before bed for Maya is, "God is so Good." It's a simple old tune and I made up an extra verse when the girls were little. It sums things up pretty well on my baby's birthday.</div>

This post makes me so incredibly grateful that we do what we do. I went through tens of thousands of images from all our wedding and engagement sessions that we photographed last year and came up with this post. Seriously, the narrowing process was brutal<i>.</i> We have the most incredible clients, who have dreamed and created the most beautiful days. And we get to take the pictures. These photos aren't necessarily the best portraits of the year, but they are the people, places, details and moments that stand out to us. So, to everyone represented in any of these images.. <i>thank you</i>...it was a most wonderful year!</div>

<br />
Oh this girl of mine. She has added so much spark to our lives in the last six years. More specifically, what she possesses, runs anywhere from spark to forest fire.<br />
I remember when Halle was little, we used to always say she was strong willed; then, when Maya arrived, we thought, "No no... Maya's actually the strong-willed one." Then Anna came along and rendered these parents of two relatively mild-mannered, obedient, little girls, completely befuddled. Six years later, we're pretty much still there. And we couldn't love her more.<br />
One of our dear friends always says that when she grows up, Anna will change the world. And I think she very well could. Anna feels and does everything with fervor. If she is sad, she's devastated. If something is funny, it's hilarious. If someone has wronged her, they should go to jail. If she's hungry, she might actually die from it. If she draws a really good picture, she's "probably the best grade one drawer in the world." If she doesn't want to wear a certain pair of pants, she takes them off.<br />
Yes, this precious girl keeps us on her toes with her antics, but she also loves with the same fervor. She gives amazing hugs, writes me endless love notes, and she will always be my baby. As I do my final checks before I head to bed each night, I often linger by her bed and stroke her cheek. I honestly think I can still feel some of the softness that was there as a little baby.<br />
I know that she is ours for a reason; that we were meant to watch HER grow, to be her people. And I am as thankful today as I was six years ago when I saw her little face for the first time behind the OR screen; when I kissed and smelled her forcep bruised lips, and watched as her Daddy and sisters fell in love with her right before my eyes.<br />
Anna - you are a precious gift. You are strong and smart, funny and creative. You are a unique and beautiful creature. And I am so very happy that I get to be your mom. I love you.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Double digits you guys...double digits. It's never been a secret that I am somewhat of an emotional and sentimental creature, so this milestone birthday hit me just as it should. Arrow to the heart. Milestones with this oldest child are always my milestones as well. Ten years of life for her, ten years of motherhood for me. It's big stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
People often ask me how I got started in photography, and that again comes down to this milestone. I took a course in high school, and always loved taking photos. However, the intensity and the drive to document moments arrived <i>with</i> Halle. I guess we could call her my muse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, as I stop to share these images and mark this time...this decade...it is important to me to jot down some words to fill them out and help me remember. To remember how we had a mother-daughter battle over what pants she would wear for these photos. She wanted yoga pants...."but Mom....I wore jeans for you LAST year." Clearly I am a stubborn ox of a mother and won this battle. To remember the emergence of her increasing sass and wit. Her ability to banter with me and say things that I can literally hear rolling off my own tongue (Note to self: tone down the sass). Watching her climb the hill with exuberance and excitement. She is an explorer...loves discovering things...IF she feels safe. The hormonal tsunami that is already starting to come in undulating waves. I want to remember the leap from primary to intermediate. That subtle, but distinct change in her school life. The things she is learning...not just from books, but from watching those around her grow and face challenges. Her heart is extremely tender and inquisitive. She sees friends in her life hurting; she watched her sister...our whole family...go through a scary time of sickness; she learned her precious Auntie has cancer (and is going to completely kick it's butt)...and she is increasingly understanding what these things mean. Her feelings and comprehension are going beyond primary and she is making connections that wouldn't have been made a handful of years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And everything in me wants to grab a giant receiving blanket, and swaddle her up like I used...to protect her from this next decade. I remember this decade that literally took me from girl to wife (and trust me...there is NO way this child will be a 19 year old bride like her mother), and I can't believe she's taking her own steps into it already. But I can't swaddle her...they don't make swaddling blankets that big for a reason. So I must learn to just hold her hand...when she lets me. To watch her run up the hill ahead of me like she did for these pictures. To teach her that I am always waiting at the bottom, and watch as she jumps and twirls at the top. To prove myself steadfast, and continually try and hold loosely, to pray fervently, as I already know she is in the best of hands. And when the waves of hurt and anger and tears come, to relish the opportunity and once again hold her against myself and be her home, as my momma was to me. That's my plan for this next decade. .I'll let you know how it goes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Birthday to my baby girl...I love you so.</div>

<br />
Today our precious Maya turns eight. This birthday is, without a doubt, extra sweet for us. After experiencing 6 weeks of nausea, Maya became acutely ill two weeks ago and landed up in hospital. An emergency visit first, followed by a second (and more scary) emergency visit and a subsequent admission to the pediatrics unit. After a barrage of tests and consults, it was determined that she was experiencing dehydration from an acute GI virus, but the underlying issue remained a bit of a mystery. They were able to rule out a lot of the more serious possibilities and we stand hopeful that she will be completely fine.<br />
Those are the facts...the story of my heart and those days and hours with Maya are a completely different story. As I was pulling into the emergency room the second time, Maya was very ill. She was so pale...falling asleep if she wasn't vomiting..she literally couldn't speak. They rushed her right in and started treating her, but my heart was stuck on the lyrics to a song I had just heard. Literally, as I rounded the corner to the hospital, these were the lyrics playing on the radio:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lintelregular" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">And when a sickness takes my child away, and there’s nothing I can do</span></span></i></div>
<div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lintelregular" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">My only hope is to trust You, I trust you Lord</span></span></i></div>

Every ounce of me just screamed "no." Absolutely not. This was not OK. My response scared me as much a Maya's illness. I am a Pastor's wife, a worship leader...I've loved Jesus all my life, but in that moment, the last thing I could imagine doing was trusting someone who would let my child be taken away. That strong woman that I picture myself to be these days...she crumbled. Thankfully, I am not the author of my faith. I am not the author of Maya's story or my own. When I am weak, He is strong. When I can't believe..he still IS. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We saw so much blessing through that week...we saw the immense love and care of our family and friends.When we were on the floor, our people lifted us. We were prayed for, fed, gifted, called, texted. We were so LOVED. The day Maya went to the hospital, my parents arrived home from Hawaii. My mom moved in (and my dad let her). We couldn't have done it without her. The most beautiful thing though was watching Maya heal and seeing her response to this tidal wave of care for HER. Maya really is a classic middle child. She longs to be seen and noticed...often shadowed by her pre-teen older sister, and her insanely dramatic younger sister. The days in the hospital with her were hard, but they were also so tender and special. We had so much uninterrupted time...just me and her...that would really never happen otherwise. We snuggled, talked, watched movies, giggled...she received gifts, balloons, visits and messages...and she just BLOOMED under all the attention. Spring came early for my girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maya - we are freshly reminded what a gift you are to us. You are a difference maker in our family...you are so special, and important and so very treasured. And though the only place I ever want you is within my reach, I am reminded also that you are in the best of Hands. I absolutely love that I get to be your mom. Happy Birthday my sweet girl.</div>

A lot of people assume that as children of a photographer, my kids will have thousands of beautiful photos of themselves. Sadly, that is not completely true. Their faces appear more on our iPhones than they do on mommy's "big camera." However, once a year, we make an intentional effort to document their current age to the best of our ability....the birthday session. My girls have come to anticipate these sessions...picking their outfits, planning a location, and going for a walk. Lots of laughing, dancing, exploring and of course, a reward afterwards :) Anna was SO incredibly excited for her 5th birthday session...she knew how she wanted her hair, that her leopard boots were a must, and that a caramel apple spice from Starbucks would be the treat. And this is just how Anna is...she knows very much what she wants...down to the detail, and <i>help </i>be to those who stand in her way. Her latest aspiration is to one day be a policeman. Her reason? So that she can take whatever she wants from stores and not get in trouble. That's right...world peace and a safe community are not on her mind; she wants to be a crooked cop. Sigh. But her little story is not over, and she is not completely lost ;) Her ferocity extends to the way she loves. She loves big...she loves her sisters, her grandparents and cousins; she loves Jesus and her friends. She loves me and her dad so much and frequently reminds us with words, snuggles and kisses (her current favourite is on the lips...trying to discourage this one). I know that I baby her too much...but she is my baby. Her lasts are my lasts. All my kids have had lasts...last nighttime feed, last diaper, last time needing to hold my hand as they learn to walk. But it is different with Anna...her lasts, are MY lasts. As she proudly and confidently walked into kindergarten last month...that was a big last...the last time I would have a little one as my sidekick day to day. There is grief in that...there were some tears. But there is also joy in it. Joy in the next season, in the little taste of freedom. Joy in watching her grow, and thrive and <i>become. </i>Anna Grace...I really, really needed you...my sweet third girl. I needed to be your mom and I'm so glad for the precious five years that you have been mine...you're my little white whale on the go.<br />

<br />
Going through the images from Halle's birthday session was a little bit of a kick in the face. She may just be nine, but I feel like she crossed a bit of a threshold this year. I looked at her face in these pictures and saw so much beauty; and not just the incredible beauty of a child through the eyes of her mother, but the beauty of this little woman "seedling" growing before my eyes. And my heart beats a little faster.<br />
This has been an eventful year for Halle. After much thought and prayer, we decided to keep Halle in the same class, with the same teacher she had for grade two. Her BFF (this is a real word in our household) was moving forward to the 3/4 split which was a major pull, but the benefits of being in a 2/3 split...this time as an older student... pulled stronger. Our girl is soft-hearted, very cautious and shy; new and uncomfortable situations are genuinely painful for her. That is why this year has been such a victory. Our girl has blossomed...still maintaining the attributes listed above, but adding a measure of confidence, leadership and JOY. After three years of tears ...she actually likes school. Halle has an incredible teacher (another huge reason we kept her in the 2/3 split)...seriously...if I could submit this woman for some kind of award, I would. As the year has gone on, and Halle has faced friend issues, and a nasty parasite that won't get lost, she has been buoyed by her awesome teacher and the sense of safety she has at school. Halle and I have also started having some pretty solid mother/daughter chats once the little sisters are in bed...clearly the topics are confidential, but they are increasing in maturity and complexity...just like her. She is full of questions and thoughts. My heart's prayer is that she never stops coming to talk to me.<br />
It's hard to sum up a year of growth in a few short lines, and as I do, I am filled with immense gratitude for each of the 365 days that have been added to Halle's journey...and mine as a mom.<br />
My little woman...my baby...I love you so!<br />

<br />
Today Maya turns seven! As I began typing this, the little muffin just jumped on my lap for a snuggle:) I would easily consider Maya the most independent, fearless and social of my children. She doesn't cling to me in unfamiliar situations, but happily goes off to try new activities and meet new people. She is an active, brave, happy go lucky little monkey. However, this year I have seen another side of her emerge. When I visited my sister last month up in Whitehorse, both my mom and Steve reported that Maya was clearly the one that missed me most and struggled with my absence. When we are at home, she will play with her sisters, but frequently come and find me for kisses, or to tell me something interesting. When I am cooking dinner, she is right at my side...eager to help. I have to be careful and remember to ask the other girls to do chores, because Maya is my most natural choice: she does it quickly, neatly, without complaining and then skips right back to my side. This desire for proximity to me is not new if I look back carefully. When Maya was born she wanted her momma. Due to a staffing shortage, and who knows what else, I was stuck in recovery following my C-section for 2+ hours just waiting to see her. I wanted her and she wanted me. Steve was up on the ward holding this brand new baby that wouldn't settle...he even called my mom to come help as Maya just kept crying and nobody was giving him updates on me. Three hundred and eight-nine years later, when I was <i>finally </i>brought to my baby, she settled right away in my arms. She needed me and I needed her. This much remains unchanged.<br />
Maya - you are so very special to mommy and to our family. What would we do without our Maya in the middle? Thank you for loving us all so well; for reminding us to stop and listen, to snuggle and smooch, to love and be loved. Life is so much more than accomplishing tasks and completing lists (your old ma + pa often forget this). You seem to have a natural bent towards caring for people and knowing what the significant moments in a day really are. You are wise, my sweet seven year old.These days you plan on being a nurse when you grow up...I can't imagine a better one. Happy Birthday Maya Kate...Mommy and Daddy love you so much!<br />

As I tucked my three year old into bed last night, she held up one little finger in front of her face. One finger left, having worked her way down from all ten...and then some. "One more sleep till I turn four?" she asked. I confirmed that yes, indeed, she would wake up the next morning a full fledged four year old. She squealed and declared her love for me, as she often does when things are going her way. I just read over Anna's birthday post from last year, and am once again struck by how quickly twelve months fly by, and how much those months contain. This has been a wonderful year with Anna. Although she still has a flaming stubborn streak; she is finally starting to grow out of that "terrible two/three" stage! It's so fun having conversations with her as her understanding and comprehension grow, yet she maintains a bit of her baby-ish lisp and logic :) Though she's the smallest member of the family, she quite often sets the tone for the mood of the household. If she's in good spirits, she has us all laughing...if not, look out. Anna's favourite thing is playing with her sisters...hands down. When they are away at school, she asks at least a dozen times as day, when they will be back so she can play with them. When the girls are home, but occupied with more "grown-up" activities, she asks how long until they will play with her again. She is ready for either a) another sibling or b) school. Option a) is NOT an option, and so we countdown the 10 months until she starts kindergarten. I know already how bittersweet this will be. I look forward to all the free time I will have to edit without interruption and go on spontaneous lunch dates with Steve or girlfriends. But, it aches my heart to know that when I write this post next year, she will be spending 5 out of 7 days a week, not with me. My baby.<br />
Anna Grace - You are a gift of the greatest kind! I had no idea how much I needed you...my 3rd little girl. You have a fire in you, and I pray that you don't lose it, but that you allow it to spur you forward when things are hard, to ground you when things appear uncertain, and that you would love the Lord, your family, friends and those around you with this beautiful, burning love. I love you lambchop.<br />

Steve and I were fortunate enough to spend this past weekend shooting a wedding in Tofino. It was the first trip for both Steve and I to this little slice of paradise. It was a busy 48 hours, but I am so glad that we carved out half an hour to catch the sunset at Wickaninnish Beach. The camera can't capture the true colors, the feel of the sand, the coolness of the water, the surreal appearance of the wet sand like a mirror, or the total freedom and peace that we both felt. I am so grateful for a job that gives us glimpses of incredible places, people and moments; but mostly grateful for the one I share them with. </div>
