pure & faultless

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

I had to start off this next post with that verse because it is completely central to the pictures you're about to see. I've known Joy (the new mom!) forever. She comes from an amazing family--her mom was very influential in my mom's salvation, her sister is my sister's best friend and two of her other sisters are in our youth group. So needless to say, this family is dear to my heart.

Matt & Joy have become parents in the last few weeks to three siblings who they've adopted out of foster care. The girls--Justice & Jordyn--have been living together but separate from their brother, Kamrin. I love that they are reunited again. I know they are going to grow up in an incredibly loving & Godly family and we could not be more thrilled for everyone. So keep scrolling down to see the newest family photos :) Thanks for giving me a peek into your life guys. I had a lot of fun.
isn't Joy just glowing here?! I love it.

Aubin, What a blessing you have been to our family!! You did an incredible job. I can't help but just grin from ear to ear when I see what God has done. What a bonus that they are so beautiful(I'm not biased of course!). I don't even know where to begin in choosing which pictures I want. I don't have enough wall space!! Love you forever!! Mama Steph

Aubin -perfect way to start your post. Incredible photos and beautiful family. You captured their joy, that unselfish joy when we do what God desires.

When it warms up a bit more, I'm ready for you to take our photos. :)
