Day Four- What They Wear

This one was fun for me.  I just happened to be doing laundry today.  How could I not somehow forever record what my daily routines are. I love having a family, I love the joy they bring me.  I don't mind cleaning, I don't mind cooking, I don't mind grocery shopping.  I HATE laundry.  I really do.  It's one of those things that ALWAYS needs to be done.  As soon as you think you are done, there is MORE.  I have no idea how really large families do it.  There is only five of us and we have so much laundry.  So this is what they wear.  And yes, that is just two loads!

Day Three-Then and Now

This one was a little harder for me.  I wanted something that would really show the change of a then and now photo.  I really love the way it turned out.  The first picture isn't the greatest picture when it comes to lighting or composition.  Nor is the Now picture.  But it shows the true love between these brothers.  How can I not look at them and be happy.  

Day 2- How they Look

Yes, since Grayson and I spend most of our time together I have a feeling that he will be the subject of many of the pictures I take.  He and I were at the park and I asked if I could take his picture.  This is what I got.  It's the usual silly smile I get.  I have never taught my kids to say "cheese" and yet that is exactly the face I get from him.

Day One- What They Do

Day one was what they do!  I picked Grayson up from preschool today and Michael told me he'd buy us lunch if we'd stay out of the house for a few hours.  He had a conference call that he was going to be on and he needed the house to be quite. So of course Grayson and I went to lunch.  Hello, who doesn't like a little Chipotle now and then?  As you can see this boy loves his Chipotle.  And I love watching him eat it.  I love most things this boy does.  He warms my heart daily.  

The beginning of the journey

This is my journey in finding myself again.  Since getting married and becoming a mother I find that I have lost little pieces of myself.  Sure, I have also found many, many more pieces that I didn't know I had.  Yet, I miss those little things that made me, well, ME!  I don't expect anyone to really follow me on this journey.  Although it would be fun.  I need this for me.  I am hoping to find myself along the way, and also see my photography grow and improve.
I am currently doing the Joy of Love, which is a photo a day for the month of February.  There is an assigned topic as you will see.  The point is to improve the skill of photography but also find the joy in what you love.  For me, it's easy, it's the people I love.
I am also participating in Project 52 with Sandi Bradshaw.  Once a week I will be posting a picture from an assignment.  I joined this three weeks late.  I plan to make those up at the end.  I really want to finish this project.  I wanted to join a 365 group.  But I know myself and I would have flaked on that one eventually.

Finding inspirations

In trying to find my Joy this year, I am looking for inspiration from many places.  But of course finding it in the place that is MOST important will come first.  I just couldn't resist this smile of his.  Little kids and Joy! I am adding this to the I heart Faces contest this week of smiles!  Wish me luck.
