what a super fun weekend!
savannah & bailey have been besties for several years
bailey is precious to me
i have considered it an honor to watch her grow into a beautiful young woman
who's love for the Lord continues to bloom
i am so proud of her
( & she's just been accepted to Ole Miss!!)
i have files of photos of these two from various occasions
but saturday i captured what are certainly my most favorite pictures of them
ever
we had a little bit of time before the boys arrived
to get some gorgeous shots
i've said it hundreds of times
but i'm so proud of this child of mine
the obligatory "we're so mad ya'll are late shot"...ha!
this is savannah's other "best friend"
trevor is such a great guy
one of the things i've tried to encourage my girls to do
is hold off on the 'boyfriend' thing
to not find themselves in a committed relationship at such a young age
blah blah blah
anyway...i couldn't be prouder of savannah's choice
she held off on the boyfriend gig until a few months ago
& he's a winner
they had a fantastic evening
making memories
they will never forget
i want to share just a tiny bit about trevor's family~
this weekend in atlanta the weather was glorious
a far cry from a year ago
trevor's home was devestated in the floods that ravaged atlanta almost a year ago to date
at one point, their home was under 15--FIFTEEN--feet of water
this family is amazing
actually....that word doesn't even begin to touch the character of his parents
trevor is one of two biological children in a home that also has 8 children adopted from russia
his mom is one of the world's top researchers
on the relationship of HIV/aids and a host of issues facing orphans
after the devastating loss of their young son years ago
the hillis family began their adoption process
honestly, i've never known a family like trevor's
while they are still battling insurance issues on their home
they currently are in a rental home in our area
if you have a few minutes
i'd love for you to see their application
to extreme home make over
i think you'll be inspired by this precious amazing family
