Henry and Karyn invited me out to their ranch for a family photo session with their brood.



The family is rapidly multiplying these days, but it all started with Henry and Karyn and their three girls.


By all indications, Allie, Averi and Andrew are just as crazy about Henry and Karyn as their girls have always been, and weekends at the ranch are a highlight of their lives.


These three are also crazy about one another!



Andrew is being taught how to love by Tara and Trey ...


... Averi and Allie can't help but learn the ways of love from Jeff and Loren ...

... and even Karley's furry baby has a special place in this close-knit family.


It's not hard to pinpoint the source of the mutual affection flowing freely here:


I think these folks have been doing something right, don't you?


Thanks for braving the post-snow chilly breeze with me, gang. It could have been another 20 degrees colder for our shoot and you still would have warmed my heart!
My response is to get down on my knees before the Father,
this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth.
I ask Him to strengthen you by His Spirit --
not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength --
that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite Him in.
And I ask Him that with both feet planted firmly on love,
you'll be able to take in with all Christians the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love.
Reach out and experience the breadth!
Test its length!
Plumb the depths!
Rise to the heights!
Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:14-19 MESSAGE
