At the very end of September we were able to finally get our family pictures done! I think it's been about 2 or 3 years since we have had this done. A few years ago (I believe her son is now 2 or 3) I made a baby quilt for this girl in my ward (church). We were changing services, I would make her the quilt and then she would take our family pictures. Well life happened and we never go it done. She ended up moving back East and came back to Utah to visit family. While she was here we were able to squeeze in a family photo shoot!
Here are a few I shot before we started....
Of course they were SUPER happy in the beginning....but overall they did pretty good. We had little "theater candy" for them if they were good. They were pretty good overall and so they go their treats.
Here are some "sneak peak" pictures she posted on Facebook...
I can't wait to get the rest of our pictures back! But another good news is she asked me to make her another baby quilt! I will be using this pattern with this line....I can't wait!
I will be using this line, Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille. I can't wait to make this! But I need to get going because she is having her baby next month! No worries, I'm up for the challenge!
- Which speaking of quilts....did everyone check out my new look? I changed it all so that I can make quilts and sell them! I have been working on making quilts too, so I will soon add a tab that has some finished quilts for sale too! So please pass on the news to anyone you know that might be interested!

What nice photos...
~Have a lovely day!
Your pictures turned out amazing! I love the frowny face one. :)
Those pictures are so adorable!
Nice post. I am sure many people want to have an unforgottenable and unique experience in this important moment-wedding. So I think many detail information should be pay attention to it. Only exclusive pearl necklaces can it give you this feeling. And the beautiful but affortable pearl beads and the white pearl ring would make you wedding more lasting.
The antients used Christinaity to initiate the "Beginnning of The End". Along the way they used it to initiate other tools which they will use to further mankind into decay and towards the Apoocalypse:::USA, "democracy", capitalism/corporations.
Of the tools they have used, religious, political, economic, social is by far the most damaging and seems reserved for those who have experienced each tactic:::
The god's social tool promoted moral decay, whether sexual, behavioral, professional, etc. It created an enviornment where indecency is the norm.
The dogs are dead.
And they're still incurring evil from their prior life(ves).
Junior Seau is a good example::The real, a 20-something in her next life, making progress, so the gods allow her clone host fake to committ suicide, allowing her off the hook incurring evil in her prior life. AND close the restaurant, her legacy in capitalism.
Al Davis should be so lucky.
The antient's leaders, politicians, celebrities, corporate executives, scientists/professionals are clone host fakes, fresh out of high school who woudln't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Without the gods doing their jobs THROUGH THEM they'd only be good for playing with themselves.
Because of their use of clone host fakes the gods have created a blameless society where nobody takes responsibility for the destruction which has occurred.
The BODs, CEOs and wealthy are fakes fresh out of high school, the gods no longer push anyone into it and instead used temptation, and the result is devistation the gods won't "make up" to the disfavored anymore.
There was a very real perception that bi-racial was much worse for the white than it was for the person of color. The liberal culture, which was designed and promoted with the god's tools to achieve their Apocalyptic goals, screamed racism when there was a very reasonable explanation for this reality::::
In this white punishment known as the United States the person of color has already adopted the disfavors/temptations intended for another race. But by associating/mating with a person of color the white is newly adopting the disfavors of another culture.
And this is the reason why people of color are not welcome in the United States. The gods control everything:::The perception they want to create, the thoughts they want you to have.
People of color can't recover from absorbing the temptations from two cultures. And why they become more and more like so many blacks in America:::Veterans at absorbing the temptations of two cultures.
To further illustrate this is why California's educational system/funding was ranked #1 when California was white:::Education being the basis of the affluent economic system. Now even public higher education has become unaffordable.
The gods behave monsterously in the course of managing Planet Earth, matching our decay, but they demand people be good if you are to have a chance to ascend as a child in a future life.
Not only is doing the right things important (praying, attoning for your sins, thinking the right way:::accepting humility, modesty, vulnerability), so is avoiding the wrong things important as well:::"Go and sin no more".
You NEED active parents who share wisdom to have a real chance to ascend into heaven in a future life, and you MUST be a good parent as well to have that opportunity in your next life.
Great blog and post, keep it up i will be subscribing to your feed!

Deciding to baptize rather than dedicate our children
Levi's Baptism is coming up later this month, September 22nd at 11am, and we are excited to share it with our friends and family far and wide, but we also wanted to discuss our decision to baptize rather than dedicate Levi since we had the option at Park Street Church to do either, so Adam drafted this explanation for all interested.
Why we have changed our view on Baptism?
For many of our friends it may come as a surprise that we have chosen to baptize our son, Levi. One of the reasons we felt God moving us from Atlantic Shores was due to the fact that some of Adam’s theological views were shifting. Now, one comment on theology and then we’ll get into baptism.
For many it’s difficult to understand how someone could hold a different theological view from himself or herself. However, there are many different understandings within conservative Christianity.
To have a different understanding of theological topic does not make one liberal. To call anyone liberal who does not agree with you on topics such as creation, baptism, spiritual gifts, drinking, eschatology is fundamentalism and not evangelicalism.
We still hold to the deity, life, death, bodily resurrection, and return of Jesus Christ. We still believe in the infallible and inerrant Word of God. All of these are conservative doctrines within Christianity.
A person who is liberal in their theology does not believe in the inerrancy of Scripture or the Deity of Christ, even if you are a democrat that doesn’t make you liberal in your theology.
We’ve broken down the argument into 5 sections. Each is used to build the case for infant baptism, but first let’s look at what paedobaptism (infant baptism) and believer baptism have in common.
Christians in both camps believe that baptism is symbol. In no way does baptism bring regeneration/salvation. One can only be saved through faith (Eph 2:8-9).
No amount of works or religious practices can constitute salvation it only comes by grace through faith. We also both believe that people should be baptized.
Jesus was baptized and commanded his disciples to baptize others. We both believe baptism to be ordained by Jesus. One more note on infant baptism: we still believe that adults should be baptized if they were not baptized as a child and come to faith. It’s not the only way to be baptized, but is preferred for families of the New Covenant.
Water in Scripture
Baptism is not the first time we see water referred or used as a symbol in scripture. Throughout scripture we see water used not only as a sign of cleansing but judgment.
God used water to judge the sinfulness of the world in the days of Noah. He used water to destroy the Egyptians pursuing the Israelites. The priest in Num 5 were instructed to pour water on those caught in sin as a sign of judgment.
God told Isaiah that the Israelites would have to walk through mighty waters because of their sin. These are a few examples of the water as a sign of judgment. In the New Testament, Rev 12, water is also used as a sign of judgment.
