2.7.2011

I am taking the day off from The Joy of Love today because the prompt is Generations and well, we didn't see anybody else today!  I will snap it soon though, I promise.

Today's picture is all about love though anyway!  This is Annika so lovingly addressing her valentines for her classmates.  She's been bugging me for a week now to get them for her so she can play post office at school.  Well, it's her turn tomorrow!



2.6.2011 {Who They Love}

Today's prompt over at The Joy of Love is "Who They Love". I chose to get in a shot with my kiddos because they love me, unconditionally and who could ask for more than that?


Photo credit goes to my loving husband! 

2.5.2011 {Love to Hate}

Today's prompt over at The Joy of Love is "what you love to hate".  I had a hard time with this one because while my family does things that annoy me from time to time, I don't generally hate anything about them.  Then it hit me, I LOVE TO HATE diapers.  Yep, after 5 years of always having a child in diapers, I am done.  If only Bennett would agree!



2.4.2011 {What THEY Wear}

Today's theme over at The Joy of Love is "what they wear".   I couldn't help but use these shots for today's theme.  Most days you can find food of some sort stuck to their hands, their faces or even their hair!  It's reality, it's dirty and I love it!  Are you playing along?  If not, you should!  Head on over there and check out the other fabulous entries!



2.3.2011 {Then and Now}

The prompt today over at the Joy of Love is "then and now". I had a hard time with this one because I really wanted to use Bianca's feet, I love her chubby Fred Flintstone feet, but I couldn't find a single picture of her feet as a baby :( So, I pulled a picture from this exact day 4 years ago, she was only 15 days old here. I can't believe what a little peanut she was and now she is a full fledged kiddo with big stinkers! Time surely flies, that's for sure!


2.2.2011 {The way SHE looks}

The Joy of Love continues today with the prompt "how they look".  I chose Annika.  She is getting so big and looks so grown up sometimes.  She has such unique features I couldn't help but choose her for today's prompt.  The one thing I love most about her sweet face is her tiny freckles on her nose.  There is one in particular that I just adore!


And her beautiful red, curly hair.  She is wearing braids today, but I just love how the ends curl right up.  That doesn't happen for just anyone you know!


She's got the most beautiful porcelain skin with rosy lips.  I'm green with envy!


Her carefree smile is addicting.  It makes me smile!


And, I can't forget her toothless grin!  It won't be that way for long and I need to remember it!  And look at those eyes.  Such a beautiful little girl!


2.1.2011 {What He Does}

This month I am participating in Kelly Willette's Joy Of Love class that happens to be absolutely FREE!  There is still time to join in, so head on over and sign yourself up.  Kelly does fabulous work and her workshops are engaging and inspiring.  

Today's prompt is "what they do".  This can pertain to anyone/thing in your life that you LOVE.  I racked my brain this morning on what I could capture today.  I would have loved to capture Brian doing what he does: work.  Since he's not working from home today, that was a no go.  

Then it came to me.  Lately Bennett has been somewhat of a turd.  He's been testing my limits, not listening, doing things he shouldn't do so I thought I would capture something that he does that reminds me that he is still so small and I need to be more patient with this phase.  

All I wanted him to do was take a nap so I could get the show on the road.  The little stinker was in and out of bed for over and hour.  Finally I snuggled up next to him and he was out.  That's when I busted out my camera.  You see, since he was a little itty bitty baby, he's been sucking on his blankie as a soothing technique and while it drives my husband crazy, I think it's sweet and I just can't let it go.  So that my friends is what Bennett "does".  



Bennett buddy, I love you, even when you frustrate me!  

PS  His shirt says it all!
