Monthly Photo Challenge: June!

June was busy, warm and wonderful! Our days were filled with play-dates, lots of day trips (splash parks, farms, canal walks), and a fun trip to visit Steve's family in Mayville. This month I decided to live in the moment and not worry about capturing moments- so we are a little light on photos this month. But I'm itching for some photo fun so you'll probably be inundated in July. ;) 
Happy Summer! Go out and soak up some sunshine!!

Favorite of my little love <3

 Cousin Lovin <3 Too sweet!

 And these are probably my favorite funny pictures of Clark to date. I can't not crack up! His new thing is making faces to try to get us to laugh- and I love it! And, yup, his hair is in a Ninja Ponytail :)

Real life- unposed snuggling. Love those stinky little tootsies <3


Probably the most kissed baby on the planet. But seriously..

I was actually just testing the light in this image but when I came across it again I couldn't help but love that this was a true little snapshot into our real life. <3

Steve looked soooo handsome- but resisted modeling it up for me!?
Pshhh too bad his coy look is still adorable :)

There's a storm a-comin' in Rochester!! Lots and lots of thunderstorms this month. But that just means snuggly cuddle days inside :)

Didn't share this image on Father's Day- love, love, love them <3

Yerp- riding a zebra bareback is unfortunately his new favorite thing..
Adventures in parenting...

And the one I'm in- celebrating our dear friends' wedding with the love of my life <3

I also wanted to share a short excerpt from my devotional Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.

"Remember that you live in a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except Me. This is why closeness with Me satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with joy. I have planted a longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which I alone can fulfill."

I often struggle with seeking 'perfection' in my everyday instead of seeking out God's perfect way for my life. When I feel overwhelmed by the world's impossible call to attain 'perfection' I've been mindfully trying to remember to turn to Him. This was a challenging, yet encouraging excerpt that I've been meditating on this month. I hope it encourages your heart as well!

Lots of Love,
Jessi




Heidi Grace : 3 Months :)

I just had to share a few images of this cutie. She is such a doll - and those eyes? Wow! And she has the sweetest little personality to match! Thanks for letting me take your 3 month pictures! :)













Lots of Love,
