2015: 355- Week 6

Day 36/365

He’s been working on a creative writing project for months. Not an assignment, but a story he is writing on his on free time. I love hearing the plunking of the old key board coming from the school room. There is creativity taking place and I LOVE that!

Day 37/365

There are just days when you need to lounge on the back of the couch and if you get a following of cats it becomes a train!

Day 38/365

Day 39/365

Ummmm…. when you have three older brothers and they paint your face just for fun— Warrior Princesses Unite!

Day 40/365

Capturing my every day in soapy dishes and the power of God’s word.

Day 41/365

Lunch time… you are becoming more and more independent and the other day you made your whole lunch.

Day 42/365

Below freezing temps, snow and wind…. I couldn’t stay out for long because my face was freezing off, but I had to capture the beauty of our field.

2015: 365- Week 5

Day 28/365:

You love your babies and there is always some sort of feeding, changing, or snuggling going on. {Free Lensed}

Day 29/365:

Isaac’s wood cutting business- selling a truck load in the snow. At times it’s hard to believe he’s eighteen and old enough to run a chain saw, it would be a real nail biting experience if I didn’t know that God is ALWAYS watching over Him.

Day 30/365:

I am so thankful for my boys. They work hard around our place. I am grateful for the strong work ethic that Joel has instilled in them. The other day Jacob shoveled off our back deck after a snow storm. The temperature was below zero and as the cats and I watched him from the comfort and warmth I had to take 30 or more photos of my boy working hard.

Day 31/365:

This baby is spoiled. She often takes a nap on my bed and Lauren covers her up with a blankey, because you know we must keep her warm when she is sleeping.

Day 32/365:

Her eyelashes…. SIGH.

Day 33/365:

Bird watching…. And a little low light photography capturing you being you.

Day 34/365:

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters

Dance, dance, dance till you drop. ~ W.H. Auden

2015: 365- Week 4

Day 22/365:

A steaming cup of flavored coffee on a chilly winter day makes me so thankful for God’s wonderful blessings in my life.

Day 23/365:

I found you reading an art book on my bed. It’s a book you have look at so many times and yet you still get enjoyment from it. I couldn’t help but, grab my camera and snap this moment in time. The lighting and you were absolutely heart stealing.

Day 24/365:

You turned sixteen today and I love you to the moon and back! Each year has been so wonderful and precious! (Photo taken by Lauren, my budding photography pal.)

Day 25/365:

You are eighteen and heading off to college in the fall. I have to, have to, have to remember these curls.

Day 26/365:

Tea parties aren’t just for the humans around here. Whenever Lauren sets us up a tea party she must make sure to adds a cup for Lily and Sneakers.

Day 27/365:

Leftover oranges from lunch sat on the table today. As I walked past I noticed how beautiful they looked in the sunshine. Sparkly oranges caught my eye and stopped my whirling mind, so that I could give thanks to our Creator!

Day 28/365:

Lauren reminds me so much of myself at that age. She is a sweet little momma already. She rocks the baby with one hand and snuggles the cat with the other.

Project 365/ Week 3

day 15/365

It isn’t very often that I get in front of the camera, but the thought stuck me the other day that I needed to capture some moments of Lauren and I snuggling. I don’t want to forget how much we adore wrapping our arms around each other.

day 16/375

I love the colors in this photo, but even more I love that it reminds me of the running commentary you have while you play with your dolls. I love hearing your little voice as you imagine various scenarios for your dolls.
