The Bayley Family

Little House, Big Dreams has become the Bayley family's small motto for this stage in their life. Getting to know them from church and also school, I became a prime nanny and babysitter once they had their little girls, starting a family and adjusting to life. Selling their house in town within the last 6 months, a comfortable 2 1/2 bedroom space, they bought a country house, that was not only smaller, but somewhere that they are slowly building into a farm. With 6 acres of land and small shed, they bought 2 barn cats, a cow that is expecting, and getting ready for pigs. With two little girls, their schedule becomes busy. When home, they try to enjoy each other. Playing, cooking, and walks in the woods. 

"little house, big dreams" has become the motto by the front door to remind them to keep working towards their dreams.
