Hans & Annya

Annya and Hans spent the day together on Saturday! Aren't they so adorable!!!! We love you Hans!!!

Hans fly'n his airplane!

First Hike!!!!

We took Annya on her first hike yesterday! And my first time out in about a year or more. We did a really easy trail well at least it was supposed to be easy. Haha :)

We walked down to a little stream.

Annya and her Papa!!!

She had so much fun!!!

She laughed and talked the whole way! I think she really enjoyed the fresh air! I sure did!!!
She also loved her jogger that her great-grandparents from Ohio bought for her!

I see you...

Tim was taking pictures of Annya the other night and she was so happy! She was talk'n to her Papa and laugh'n at his funny faces he'd make for her. And I walked over to the edge of the couch and she looked over, put her hands together and gave me a big grin! It's the most amazing thing I think that has ever happened to me in my life...feeling the love and admiration from my little girl. I am so blessed!!!

Friends...

Annya has many friends and admirers! Here are a few! :)

Her Grandmommy of course! And Miss Annette who sometimes comes with my mom to visit.

And then there is sweet little Andrew! Who Annya and I love to play with! When he was here on Thursday I packed them up in the car and we went to my Aunts house for tea.

Look at those blue eyes!

Peek-a-boo

Annya Update

Annya is almost 3.5 months old. She loves to laugh and talk. And on Monday night she rolled over for the first time! She didn't like it at all, she was so scared after that. I got it on video I'll post it later. She's starting to have a little bit of an attitude when I don't give her all the attention she wants and when I get her dressed. I guess even my angel is sinful...I didn't think that it was possible. :) She's weighing in at 15.2 and is doing great!

Opps... :)

I guess that you might need the blog name. Hehe... :) Here ya go. www.rothwellphotography.blogspot.com

I need your input...please!

For those of you who know and for those of you who don't. :) Tim and I have felt the Lord leading us to start a photography business. So we are!!! We don't have a lot to show yet but we have 5 weddings over the next few months so we should have much to show you as the year goes on. We did a photo shoot with our dear friends and neighbors Cory and Andrew so I posted a few of those. I wanted ya'll to visit the blog that I started this morning and give me your input and comments. As I said, I only started it this morning so I will be changing it a lot over the next couple of weeks but I would love to hear from ya'll what you like or don't like about any of it. We are very grateful for anything you can suggest! We'll be using the blog until we get a website.

God Bless, Tim and Sasha

Isn't He Great?....

I've been long to go hiking and see the beautiful outdoors. but am still not able to. So my sweet husband went and brought the falls home to me. Isn't he great? I have the best husband in the world! He is prince among men!

ONE, TWO, THREE and counting...

Happy three month birthday little lady! It's had to believe that three months ago at this very hour in the morning, I was at RMH having my water broke. Little did I know all that was in store for that day. Though in many ways it was the hardest day of my life it was also the most rewarding, exciting, and fulfilling day I have ever lived. You have brought so much joy into our home, you've filled our hearts with more love than we ever thought possible, and we are so excited to see just what the Lord has in store for you!

...

We love you,

Mama & Papa

Diapers!!!

To all Mama's who like great deals! I wanted ya'll to know that I found Pampers at Finders Keepers on Waterman drive. A box of 228 diapers (size 2) was only 25.00 dollars! Compared to 98 size 2's at Wally World/Walmart for $18.98. Just thought I'd share my great find! Have a wonderful blessed day!

As I sat nursing my little angel this morning, I took time and just looked at her cute feet and tiny hands. How often I nurse and yet how little time I actually take to watch her and enjoy her precious little features. And it caused me to praise my Savior to glory in His handy work. He knew her before time began and He has a purpose for her life here on earth. Is that not the most amazing and comforting thought? That He has great desires and plans for our little ones far beyond what we could ever hope or imagine. So let that be the challenge; as you sit and feed your precious little one take your mind off all there is to do. We all have a list a mile long and that mile might turn into two, but let your heart rejoice and sing praise to God, for you hold in your arms a precious gift from above. The list will be there tomorrow they might not. I find though that when I glory in God's awesome goodness my work goes smoother and quicker! So to all you sweet parents marvel in what your Savior has given you!

My daughter, my love, you are the joy of my heart. It is by God's grace that I hold you in my arms. My child, my dear, God gave you to me and daily I must give you back. Grow my darling, my lovely child, serve Him forever with all of your heart.

My Ladies!

I found the temptation irresistable to take just a few more pictures of my precious little ladies! I love them more then life itself! I am truly a blessed father and husband!

Another Sunrise!

You might be questioning why this post is labeled "Another Sunrise!" when I have a picture of the moon here. However, the photo was taken at the same time the two below were. (pics taken by Tim)
