Photographs

Monday, November 8th, 2010

I have a problem. I take TONS of pictures. From the time I first got a camera I’ve taken TONS of pictures.  I never needed a special occasion to take them, I would take them at home by myself or hanging out with my friends somewhere we’d been a 100 times. And digital cameras feed my need to snap away. I don’t have the best memory and for me taking pictures was a way to keep moments, places or people from being forgotten.

Among the millions of pictures I’ve taken there are those that I love looking at. I’m sure you have those too. They make you smile or make you remember a time when things were so different. And sometimes there’s just one that you can’t believe you captured on “film”, one that you would be so sad to loose. For me it’s this one:

My favorite picture from 2007-Sept 2009 (that’s the last time I put a list of them together). Morgan and Walter laughing. I love this moment, this laugh. I don’t remember at all what was so funny, but it must have been good and I snapped my camera at just the right second.

So I thought I’d share my Top 15 Favorite Photos (well from 2007-Sept. 2009) with y’all.There in no particular order, well, yes they are, chronological, not by love.

Grandmere’s Great!

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

My mom (Grandmere) has been with us for 2 months now. I’m so thankful to have her here. Not only is she a huge help with all the work that has to be done she’s also been such a great Grandma to our babies! She’s always (ok, sometimes she takes a break) ready to read books, stack blocks, give horsie rides, sing a song for the 385th time and push swings. She’ll be heading home on November 1st. These girls are gonna miss her! I’M GONNA MISS HER!

My Mom made these “laptop computers” for the girls out of some cardboard I had and some farm stickers. She’s so creative!

She’s also a world class baby rocker. We love you Grandmere!

Grandparents

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

I don’t know what I would have done during the last month of pregnancy and this last week if I hadn’t had these Grandparents. It’s been such a blessing to have them available and happy to help. Parenting and keeping up with a house full time is a 4 person job at least so the extra hands and love have been invaluable. So thank you to you Grand-parents!

At The Parsonage

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Mama goes wacky for watermelon! We got a good harvest out of our garden this year, no where near the 28 we had on last summer but some very good sized melons. We’re not just work work work around here, we’ve been having some fun too while we all wait for baby brother!
