Firsts.

This one ranks right up there with first steps, the first belly laugh, his first words, and his first day of school. Then before you know it he's learning to shave.  Another first, but one that leads from boyhood to manhood.

We all crowded just outside the door watching the grand unfolding before us.  At first he didn't want me taking photos, but he relented when I said I wouldn't put them on Facebook.  I snapped away and laughed as my husband bantered back and forth with him.

I never imagined that what I got in camera would blow me away when I first saw it come up on my computer screen.

This moment makes the writer in me go speechless.

Words flee and emotion wells.

This is life lived to its fullest.

For all my documentary friends on FB who have already seen this... sorry for the repeat.  I had to blog this.  I went back and forth several times and even started over with other photos of our tree decorating, but in the end I knew this was the set of 5 I wanted for this month.

Harvest season is now over, but for the month of October my children were out in the fields every time they could.  They love helping their grandpa and their dad.
I struggled to pick out only 5 photos, because their were so many that tell the story of harvesting, but here are my 5 for this month. Telling a bit about our little farm.

 The love is real between my oldest and my youngest.  I love moments like these when I can capture her just soaking up his hugs.  She misses him so much now that he doesn't live at home. Every opportunity she gets she wants to be held by him.

For more documentary goodness head over to Julia's web site.  She is an amazing photographer who captures the beauty of the moment.
