This Christmas Eve we have many feelings we are trying to capture… We are excited for what 2019 will look like for us here on the farm, from additions to the barn & additions to our home! We are excited to see how our adoption journey will shape and how He will move us. Before we can get to 2019 we cannot help but stop to awe the amount of love and support we have received from everyone. From stopping Jose and I at Target to share your story, finding us at our Autumn Market, talking with us over social media, and praying for us throughout the year. We are so very thankful for each and everyone of you, who have stopped by the blog and cannot express our gratitude enough, but hope these photos of us trying to capture a family Christmas shot will brighten your day like all of you have done for us throughout the year! We are far from perfect, but we hope that through our imperfections & our journeys from home decor to farm life to trying to grow our family that we inspire you in some small way when you visit the blog daily.
Merry Christmas Eve from our farm to your home!!! We love you all and are so thankful for each and every one of you for being a part of our journey here on the blog & off the blog. Thank you will never be enough… but we will continue to say it daily. Merry Merry!! xx
I truly enjoy following both of you and your adorable family that is only going to get more adorable as you grow. You don’t know most of us from Adam, but you’re so genuine and real and I appreciate all you do. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas
These pictures brought a smile to my face this morning. My favorite part is the two littles looking like what are my mommy and daddy doing. Lol
My favorite picture would be the one where Jose is kissing your big baby, it captures perfectly the love ya’ll have for your family.
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you!!!! Its very inspirational to see such a positive start to a new year. I hope next year will be the most beautiful year of your life. Thanks for sharing all your blog & helping us in home decor.
From one farmhouse to another- may you be blessed in the coming year and Merry Christmas.
Love your pictures and your style! I just discovered your site. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey to parenthood. Keep the faith! I had a lonnnng road myself, but now have two sons — one through adoption (after only a 4 month wait) and another through IVF. (Feel free to email be about either process!) God has a better plan than we can ever design ourselves. Will keep you in our prayers — and keep following your story. Happy New Year!
Aww!!! Yay… Merry Christmas to you too!
These are beautiful and amazing! Our family has a hard time with taking a photo, and getting my autistic son to look and laugh takes about 100 tries! The outcome is so fun with the real-ness of the set of photos. Thank you for sharing. I wish you hope and pray for your child to find you this year. You seem like such a loving couple. I wonder if you would ever consider adopting a child with special needs? I have heard that it is harder to place them in a home. I hope this comment does not offend anyone. Being a mom of an autistic adult son, I think about this often and wonder if it is really true what people always say to us–that they think we are amazing and that they could not do what we do. I know that love is what a parent needs most and the rest follows by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Hi Liz,
I found your blog by accident & your story had me in tears. I have been there too. It is painful. Very very painful. There are no words – the most comforting comment I ever received was ” What you are going through is just wrong. You deserve so much better’. It was just nice to have someone acknowledge my pain, not try and play it down or attempt to smooth it over with platitudes. We went through everything you went through & ended up having a baby when I was 44 years old. Much much later than we planned, but it happened. I wish you all the best in 2019 & hope you get to have your dream.
