Luke's Blessing Pictures

Taking these pictures had been giving me anxiety for weeks! Weeks I tell you! I wanted them to be outside and every time the weather was nice enough, we had a million other things going on! Thank goodness I got these before he grew out of his blessing outfit. 
On our way home from this photo shoot I was feeling super bummed thinking I didn't get any good ones. It just got dark so quickly! 

But as soon as I got home and got them on the computer, I realized that I was so wrong!
I love them! They definitely have a different sort of hue to them. The sunset was particularly orangey on this day. But, I just adore them.

I can't tell you the feeling that comes over me when I look at these pictures. 
They make me cry with happiness and joy. 
I love being a Mother. 
But not just any Mother. 
I love being Luke's Mother.

A little bit of guilt is mixed in my feelings as well. I so suffered emotionally during this pregnancy. I was constantly thinking, "Is this really going to be worth it?".
Without a doubt. Best decision and worth it ALL.

This little guy has always been there for me.
I have felt his spirit during races and during hard personal times. 
He's a mighty one he is!

That may sound silly to you, but it's true.
I've ALWAYS wanted a little boy. 
And I've ALWAYS known I'd get one. ;)
Hopefully two. Did I just say that out loud? hehe.

"What's Mom going to make us do now?"
Tyler: "I don't know son. But you'll get used to it."
haha!

I love this series! These are the ones I thought would be trash. The sun was just about gone.
But nope. They are the BEST!

So different.
