How We Take Family Photos

August 19, 2014 By Caroline TeSelle

say what?

Whenever I grab my Nikon to take pictures when people are involved, Greg knows that I need his help. It’s unspoken now.

He gathers the group to be photographed, directs them where to stand & then he gives the cues. I click & hide behind the camera. We both play the part we know well. {This time, the kids picked where they wanted to stand. They said, let’s take the picture by the “family tree”. Greg & I gave each other a raised eyebrow look that said “We have a family tree??”}.

I’d be lost without Greg & the kids do not dread having their picture taken because they know their dad & uncle {yes, that’s my nephew, Dakota on the far left} will make it fun.

Can you tell where Greg was standing when these pictures were taken? Follow the eyes of his two youngest in a few of the photographs. Who knows what he was saying but it always turns into memorable photos.

Stone loves the family tree…
…not sure how to caption this one…
surprised? confused? what?
silly face? Gunnar must not have heard the cue…
angry? poker face?
you can hear the laughter, right?

 

And somewhere in the midst of the fun & crazy we find the one that brings them all together, gathered around our family tree.

Say hello to my new “heart”. If you’ve been Say hello to my new “heart”. If you’ve been following along with my health journey, here’s an update: (check out the ❤️ saved highlight in my profile some more details) on 2/12/21 I had a CRT-D device placed in my chest to help resynchronize my heart (if you’d like to read about CRT-Ds there’s a link in my bio).⁣
⁣
Our bodies are miracles, aren’t they? As well as the team of doctors, nurses, and staff at Mayo that took care of me last week. I trusted them to do the jobs they’ve been trained to do so that I can feel better. They are miracle workers. I’ll know in 3 months at my check-up if the procedure has been successful in making my heart ejection fraction higher. ⁣
⁣
We are so thankful for the Mayo team and our family and friends across the country that were praying for us. Ultimately, because of my faith in Jesus, he is responsible for all the answered prayers this week. ⁣
⁣
God is so good. And here’s the thing, if the outcome of the surgery from last Friday would have been different, because of our eternal perspective and faith in Jesus, I believe we still would be proclaiming God’s goodness. ⁣
⁣
The words on my heart as I prepared for surgery were: Jesus, Hope, Faith, Trust, and Restore. They will continue to be my words as I heal. ⁣
⁣
Love you, friends ❤️⁣
⁣
p.s. We’ve nicknamed the device Pete, affectionately after my Grandmother Pete. She was small in height but mighty in spirit. Not much could stop her! 💪🏻⁣

You are the joy that was set before him. ⁣
⁣
Jesus endured the cross for us and considered it joy. ⁣
⁣
How can we experience true joy? Joy that outlasts the turmoil of 2020? Joy that surpasses all understanding? Joy that isn’t stolen by a diagnosis? One answer: Jesus. ⁣
⁣
May your true joy be made more complete this Christmas by remembering what Jesus has done for you.
Seven years ago, my journey of working with @tshox Seven years ago, my journey of working with @tshoxenreider began because of her friendship with @thenester. This online world can have its headaches + difficulties, but I cannot imagine what my life would be like without the friendships I’ve made through these online connections. ⁣

Today, my final post on the @artofsimple is up. Tsh will be closing this chapter of her life at the end of 2020 and I’m honored to have been a small part of it. ⁣
