Loving Life: June 2013

http://jonathanandbethsmith.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 8, 2013. Porter's 2 Year Pictures. We had some pictures taken in March, right after Port turned 2. We got the disc a couple of weeks ago, and they are the sweetest things I've ever seen. I love every picture.

You should check her out at kmosleyphotography.com. Here's a few of my favorites. Look at that sweet face.

http://jonathanandbethsmith.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 2, 2013. The Best Summer Ever. I started to write a little about how this has been the best summer ever, but then I got really emotional, erased it all, and that's all I'll say about that for now. SO - here's a little update on the past 2 weeks. Porter LOVED it. Our church has VBS at night, so we headed off last week for him to learn about the armor of God in the Medieval theme each night.

http://3hysmiths.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-life-of-brody.html

My cup runneth over. Monday, March 25, 2013. The life of Brody. So Brody is getting pretty close to 2. I used to blab about him all the time on this blog and realized that he isn't getting his name in print quite as much. Well, he's awesome so here you go.
