sweet birthday present

For my birthday this year, all I could think that I really wanted from my boys was for them to let me take them (with sunny attitudes) on a photo shoot! My birthday arrived and it was pouring down rain, so a week later, we went for it! However, because M still takes a morning nap, the time of day wasn't great for wide eyes--everyone was squinty for sure! So, I worked with it and we found another spot with some ambiance and think I have some great shots of my boys! Thank you, precious family!

strreeetchh!

It's People's Choice week over at I Heart Faces this week. I couldn't resist putting up this sweet, smushy, stretching face! I love this little angel!

I sure do wish I was laying right here again right about now. . .

rockin' the red

I had a fun little red-themed photo shoot today! The boys were quite cooperative and with plenty of candy to bribe them, I was able to get some sweet shots! Here's little M rockin' his red and lots of baby drool!

i heart this face!

My sweet L has been begging to have his face on my camera lately and I love it! He's often making crazy faces, trying to have the "fiercest" face, like a shark. So after indulging him today, I managed to get a few with his sweet smile and a "heart" for this week's photo challenge over at I Heart Faces.

I sure do heart this face!

blowing raspberries

I want to eat M up everyday! Guess what? I do!!!!!!! I love his new ability to blow raspberries and he is quite entertained by his new trick too! This is my Day #14 pic. I am also entering this into the I Heart Faces photo challenge this week---it's for Best Faces in January. I adore this face and couldn't resist entering!

365

So my last post was in July of last year. Yikes! I had good intentions with this blog, but I ended up adding favorite photos to my family blog and just never added to this niche here. This year, I hope to do better. I'm challenging myself to a 365 photo project. Taking a photo a day to capture all the goings on around us. I've actually missed a few days already because I hadn't quite committed to the project yet, but since it's a personal goal--one I've taken on to make a photo book at the end of the year and one for practice, I'm okay with it. I may decide to find a way to put all of my photos from this project as thumbnails here, but for now, I will add this pic, because I love it. Every morning L wakes up, he has messy bed head. Every morning his Daddy makes magic with his hair. They go to a sink and L gets doused with water. They tease and joke around with crazy styles, but L always comes away looking like he left a salon!
