One last look at Fall

The photos over at Trendy Treehouse get better and better each week and mine, well, they just stay the same.  We received a "like" last week which is great but after looking over all of the entries I thought I should just give it up since I'm not a photographer and the contest is a little out of my league but it's another week and I'm delusional as I mentioned yesterday so here I go again.

I have decided that I just like the process.  I like finding out the topic and spending Monday nights pouring over the million pictures we have taken of our children's every move to find one that fits and also looks like I can manage a camera okay.

So with that long unnecessary introduction that I promise was not a ploy to get compliments on my photography skills (or lack thereof), here is my entry for {Fall}

Happy Tuesday--- it's our Friday, hope it's yours too,

Birth Day

In some circles, babies born to families after the loss of a child are referred to as "Rainbow Babies." The idea is that the baby is like a rainbow after a storm. "Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.

I was asked to repost this for a friend and was glad to do it since it goes perfectly with my picture for Shutterlove Tuesday's theme today.

First moment with Sawyer, my little rainbow baby

We made it

We survived the move, more details to follow.  Since I am on my own in a barely baby-proofed house that no one is interested in napping in I only have a minute.

I managed to get our internet back up just in time for Shutterlove Tuesday over at the Trendy Treehouse.  This week's theme is "brown"...

The best for last

So I saved the best, actually the only half-way decent, everyone sort-of looking at the camera shot, for Shutterlove Tuesday this week because the theme is "Halloween Costumes."

Here it is....................

Love and War and Love Again

The theme this week for Shutterlove Tuesday is "A Story in Pictures."  

Words really are not necessary for the pictures below, especially if you have ever attempted a photo shoot with three small children...

Cake

As I stated last week, I'm completely addicted to Shutterlove Tuesdays over at Trendy Treehouse.  This week's theme is "cake."  I loved combing through birthday pictures to find my favorite cake shot and, although I'm somewhat proud of my birthday cake-making and you can only see the crumbs in this picture, this one of Sawyer at his first birthday was my absolute favorite.

No pictures please

I'm now addicted to the Trendy Treehouse and the theme for this weeks Shutterlove Tuesday is "Bloopers."

I immediately thought of this picture and found it in my 3 million pictures we took during the kids' first year so that I could edit it a bit.

The kids had just received these cute hats and we were dying to get some pictures of them, even if they were asleep on my lap.

Apparently Parker was not happy about the interruption.

Laughter

I'm entering my first photo contest over at Trendy Treehouse.  I'm a little nervous because there are some amazing photos over there each week but I'm giving it a shot.

This weeks theme is "Laughter"  

There is nothing better than the sound of a house full of giggles and my little Parker laughs from his head to his toes.  For some reason the slurp of his sister's popsicle was sending him into giggling fits in this picture.
