2011 Photo Contest!

This year's contest is going to be a little different than last-
Parents- its your turn to get in front of the camera. :)

How many times do we avoid getting into photos with our kids because our hair is a mess, or we don't like the outfit we have on, or we think we don't look good, or say 'next year when I lose those last 5 pounds...' (Sound familiar, anyone?) ;)

Then one day you sit down to put your photos into albums, and realize you aren't in a single one...
When your kids are looking through them one day and ask why they don't see you, what will you say?
Remember, your kids don't care if a hair is out of place, or you didn't put on makeup today, or you think you are always making a silly face in your pictures- what means something to them is having the memories- remembering when dad showed them how to hit a baseball, or how much fun it was when mom taught them how to bake brownies. It's the stories the pictures will tell one day in the future.

So- your assignment :)
Send me a photo of you with your children! No professional photos please! Take it yourself, have your husband or wife take it, ask a neighbor to snap a family photo while you are playing in the yard.

The photo can be no older than 2 weeks (we are creating recent memories here, people!) If you take it just for the purpose of this contest, even better!

The winner will take home a family photo session, by me :)
I have something fun in mind!

**For an extra entry**  leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite thing is to do with your family when you are all together.

For My Children, On Mother's Day

To the one who made me a mother...
To my first baby-
Thank you helping me to learn what unconditional love is.
Thank you for teaching me patience.
I have learned so much from being your mom, on every journey we take together.
Sometimes it's bittersweet, wondering what could have been, trying to see you differently- but in the
   end I can't picture you as anyone else than who you are.  I am lucky I was chosen to be your mom.
Thank you for loving me.

And to the one who made me a mom for the second time-
The one who has shown me over and over how different two children can be!
The one responsible for showing me just how much love my heart could hold.
I love your spirit.
I love how nothing gets you down.
I am enjoying seeing things in a whole new way through your eyes.
You so badly want to be one of the big kids, like your big brother and your daddy- but you still melt
  my heart when you just want your momma- running over with open arms and a smile on your face.
I will never tire of hearing "momma, momma!"  when you have something you want to tell me.
I love your sweet innocence that shows me you aren't quite ready to stop being my baby just yet...
I love you, with all my heart.

I am truly blessed. You both are the best gift a mother could ask for.

I am way behind...

On keeping up with this blog! The warm weather has made me neglectful of indoor things that can be put off. I will be adding photos soon and playing catch up, for now, enjoy a taste of spring!
