The beauty of growing life... and sacrifice

To begin, I have to say we have so much to be grateful for! things that we take for granted and forget to actually realize how lucky we are to have! J is pregnant with twins and she has such a positive and up-beat personality. See, J's husband is a navy pilot and stationed overseas - and while she is here growing not one, but TWO, little lives - he is giving his time and services for our country. She's feeling lucky that he'll get to come home and meet the babies within the first two months of their lives!! (I think I might have to stop complaining when my husband calls to say he's staying at the office late and won't be back until 10 pm!!) Puts it in perspective... and should remind us all that there are men and women that are giving up so much to serve our country. Thank you, J and P!! (I love that these images were taken as a surprise so that P could see how beautiful his wife and babies look!)

(and yes, J's mom asked me if it was hard to edit down and choose - so many sweet and wonderful images from this morning session!!)
