St. Paul Family's Fall Mini Photos in Cottage Grove, MN

11/9/2021

One of the most beautiful things about life is when you get to walk alongside another family, and this has been the case for the Teal family. We first met this family before we even had kids and when Austin was just a little baby. Then, overtime, our oldest came along and second oldest came along. We knew the Teals were hoping for another little one for their family, and we sincerely prayed with them in the journey for that addition. We cried together, we laughed together, we went to marriage retreats together. And finally, another little one was going to join the family! Michele and Jim were unbelievably excited about their precious rainbow baby boy – who wouldn’t be? What they didn’t know is after years of waiting, not only one precious baby boy would be joining, but two, and not only two baby boys, but after a long awaited time entered a precious little lady.

The sad part? This sweet family is moving to Florida in the next few days. It has been so fun to reflect on the moments we have shared, the prayers we have prayed, and the delicious goodies Michele has baked – seriously, she’s got some amazing talent!

Teal family, you will be missed (our oldest has already cried a few times about it), and we are so grateful we have been able to know you in your time in Minnesota. Know that we continue to lift you up in prayer, continue to think of you often, and continue to miss you! We pray that this transition will be exactly what your family needs in this next stage of life, that you will be able to enjoy many moments with grandpa and grandma, and that all the fun Disney and warm days will be documented for us living in Minnesota. Until next time <3
