this...


Now this is an Ockrin occasion we (the boys in particular) look forward to each year! It was Liam's first year. A requirement of 3+ seems to be in the best interest of all to join the ranks of the all male Ockrin family camping trip. He finally had the chance to experience first hand what has been a whole year in the making of expectations thanks to Asher's stories and leading in his own sheer excitement.

I think it surpassed any expectations Liam had and even then some. Any guesses how?













I have no pictures from our ladies tea. Hands and mind were full and just a bit occupied with a newborn Lemuel, but Sophia was adorned in everything girl. How special to pass on to her the gift it is to be a woman. Because well, that's what He made us to be and there is no shame in His call and purpose. She desperately longs and waits for our someday family camping trip, just us, maybe next summer, but until then I marvel in her desire to embrace exactly who she is.

And I did too.
