"Field" trip…

Since Zoe was a baby, I have always taken the kids photos myself. I really see no point in paying someone else, who doesn’t really know my child, to capture them on film.
I would much rather have the job, myself.

Each picture reveals their own special personality.

When I look back on their photos, I remember that I said, “Hey guys look! Bigfoot is behind me!” to get them to look my direction.

And I can recall the specific reason each child was laughing in each picture.

These are all moments I would have missed had I not been behind that lens each and every time. And I feel very honored that I can share these moments in time with them now and when they’re all grown up.

Besides that’s why we capture these moments.
To hold on. To remember. To reflect.
Forever.

a new blog and a new pair of glasses…

I started on a project last week that is very dear to my mending, school-mom heart.
this was the only way for me to let all of my focus remain on my sweet, baby girl….
and not have it classified as “border-line compulsion“.

introducing:

Zoe is so excited about her new blog.
in fact, she’s beginning to show early signs of a Blogg-a-holic!

when we were on our walk on Saturday, we saw a funny, little squirrel that was hiding up in a tree with a big berry stuffed in his mouth.
she pulled out her camera and took a picture then whipped herself around and shouted, “Put this on my blog!”

now how often do you hear that, I ask you?

I’m hoping this will raise my excitement level over this whole “school” thing.
so far, it’s been therapeutic for this love-lorn mama.
I get to hear her tell me all about her day at school and then in turn, I get to share in that experience by helping her put it on her blog.

as she learns to write and spell, she will soon be taking over her little space and will truly make it her own.
a thought that absolutely terrified me before, now has me aching in sheer expectation.

I am looking to the future with a shiny new pair of rose-colored glasses.

and I never want to take them off.
