Just a few photos from my day. Is there anything sweeter than little boys and their dads?

5 photos a day

Here I am with a new camera and a grossly neglected blog. So now it is time to try to catch up.



I figured that trying to take 5 quality pictures a day would be a good start, hopefully not impossible.


This is by far my favorite picture of the day. Flowers really do make the best subjects. They are just so naturally beautiful, you dont have to do much. I love how this one looks like a painting. New project idea perhaps??

I spent the evening at scrapbook club. A little bittersweet as it was the last one of the year. The little tiny bits of beauty are the thing that draws me to scrapbooking. Buttons, flowers, and little glass jars. If only I had a little girl's room to decorate...

With the arrival of my new baby Pierce speeding towards us, I am suddenly hit with a frantic thought that I haven't done anything to prepare.

When you are pregnant the first time around you take everything for granted. Coming home early to take an afternoon nap. Lounging around the house, snacking on baked cheetos and watching your favorite shows. Taking bubble baths and reading books. The second time those luxories are gone. Disney XD and Super Why rule the tv. Laundry threatens to overflow. And any time you try to close your eyes for just a teensy second you are hit with a Thor hammer and informed you are Dr. Doom.

Its not all bad though. The fast pace of parenthood makes you forget all about being pregnant. You don't have time to eat and the days and weeks you spent counting down before fly by until there is no time left.

While I was at scrapbook club I took the oportunity to roam around my friend Whitney's house to find inspiration for some pictures. I loved that she had this crossword puzzle on her fridge. Done in pen and white out. I just found it humorous. A reminder that sometimes we put ourselves up to challenges in life it just doesnt turn out the way we hoped but with a little redirection, it turns out good anyways.

My husband didnt like this picture. He said you couldn't tell what it is. I, however, think its quite obvious that it is ice cream. A afternoon snack for a little boy that was good at school.

Minus the glare on the card, this snapshot of our bulliten board makes me smile. I am told that Luke picked this card out for me for mothers day himself. A mama and baby donkey. True to life, it reminds me of the early morning hours when Luke climbs into our bed. Too tired to take him back to his room, I let him stay. He nestles his litte body right up against mine even though there are miles of room on our California King. And there we sleep until the sun shines in the window and its time to begin the day.

Sweet flowers from a sweet friend.
