More Quadruplet Cuteness, Glendora Children's Photographer
| Here is the last installment of the silly afternoon I had with the Shahbaz Family! I went over there for a special project for this summer and it was specifically to get some new images of Mr. Jordan, but how could I resist the rest of this awesome family? Phil has a way with the kiddos and makes them go completely crazy as you can see from the image above and below. |
| My favorite image of Cedar. |
| Jonah is a true crack up and thank goodness, he laughs at all of my silly faces and jokes! |
| My second favorite image of Miss Cedar with her dolly! |
| Yes, it is true, if you tempt them with treats, they will do tricks! |
| The pictures below were done in the same chair. The first one, the quads were 9 months old and the one at the bottom, they are 2 years and 11 months!!! Almost 3!!! Wow they have come a long way! |
| Hula anyone? Silly Kiddos! |

Jordan, Glendora Children's Photographer
Sometimes, we aren't quite sure why God deals us certain cards in life. When the Quadruplets were born, Phil and Amy thought they had been dealt life's final deck of cards. They accepted the lifelong journey of raising premature quadruplets and all of the little struggles that come along with their little lives. Fast forward two and a half years later. Life is great! They were finally on a schedule, they could get out of the house, able to take trips as a family and move on. And then one day in December, God decided that one more card needed to be dealt. That card was Leukemia. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Mr. Jordan was sick for a while and there weren't any answers as to why he couldn't recover from the common cold or cough. Until one day, a doctor finally did a blood panel and that is when he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. If you have been following my blog, twitter updates and facebook status' you would know that I have been praying diligently for this little guy and have also asked you all to pray. When I was at their home last week, I asked Phil what is the one thing we can pray for. He said, "when Jordan is healed, it won't be a miracle. A miracle is when God makes the impossible possible. It's now possible for Jordan to be healed because of so many kids who died before him, so many parents who suffered, so many people who donated, so many organizations that raised money to find a cure, so many doctors who devoted their lives to researching, all under the umbrella of God's grace. Grace is the key word. We needs God's grace to get through this". |
| There will be more of the quads over the next few days. Here is a great image of them helping Jordan out with is Picc line that needs to be flushed daily. It was so amazing to see how these kiddos understand how they can help their brother and try their hardest to comprehend Leukemia. |
| Love this little guy and his dimples! |
| God Bless You Amy! You are the Mom of the decade!! |
| One of my favorites! He is such a happy little boy and there are times, you would never know he is fighting the fight of his life! |
| And Phil, you are the Dad of the decade! Seriously, I don't think God could have picked two better people to raise these four amazing kiddos! |
| Please continue to pray for Jordan, as well as Jonah, Jeremiah, Cedar, Amy and Phil. You can receive updates on Jordan by joining the facebook group HERE. |
Whip It Up Wednesday: The Perfect Steak
Who doesn't love a good steak? Both of my parents were from the mid west, so having meat and potatoes was a normal affair growing up. In fact, every single Christmas, we would receive a huge box of Omaha Steaks from my Aunt & Uncle in Nebraska. If some of our vegetarian or vegan friends are reading this, so ahead and scroll down to the next post. I still love you even though you "you don't eat meat? I make lamb!" Ha!
Many of you reading this have been to our home and have had the opportunity to have one of these awesome steaks, grilled to perfection. We love to eat at home and BBQ whenever we can. We normally make red potatoes with our steak. Yum!
Lots of people think a steak rub or special season salt will make the steak better. We have news for you! We only use Kosher salt and ground pepper. The steak is then grilled to a nice 135 degrees. Remove from the fire and let it rest for five minutes which will let the meat's internal temperature go to 140 degrees which is medium rare. Make sure you invest in a great meat thermometer for the best results. |
