Missy and Jim : Waiting on Baby

As I drove to our photo session location, the sky got ominously dark, I heard thunder roll in from miles away.A few sprinkles even hit my windshield.I called Missy and Jim and told them “I’m not sure about this evening’s forecast”.My biggest concern was not the wet, it was the dark. If a storm comes in, the dark clouds are going to suck away all our beautiful light several hours before the sun was actually supposed to set.Missy, being super flexible and laid back, told me “Jim just walked in the door and we can be there in a few minutes”.So we stole some time and some daylight from mother nature and ended up with a fantastic photo session because this couple rolled with the punches. 

 

Isn’t this a cute way to announce a pregnancy?

…Rolling with the punches. Life can take you down many paths. Some are fun, exciting, and even easy. And some aren’t as pleasant as others.

Parenthood can be the same way.

You can never really prepare for every moment or have the exact right answer but if you can work with what you’ve got and roll with the punches, you can’t go wrong.

From the small amount of time I’ve spent getting to know this couple I’ve seen attributes of love, flexibility, willingness, responsibility, and excitement about this brand new life they will soon bring into the world.

Jim and Missy, whatever life brings your way you are already rolling with the punches, this is a true testament to how you’ll be as a mommy and daddy.

You will be excellent parents. I just know it.  🙂
