My Tuesday...

How is it that at three years old she already knows how to stand in the fridge like she's a teenager?



Also, check out Communal Global. What a great collection of photos from people around the world!

Trendy Treehouse challenge "Sports"

The theme this week over at Trendy Treehouse is sports. Now really, there is only one week out of the year where sports have any bearing on my life and that's the week I spend volunteering at summer camp. For more than half of my life (18 years to be exact) I've been volunteering for one week a summer at MDA Summer Camp. Camp is nothing short of amazing. It's the best week of the year for these kids and for me. We play different sports every day. I can imagine that the kid in the wheelchair is rarely picked first in gym class but at camp they have a chance to play on an equal playing field.

I couldn't choose just one pic, but here is my choice for Trendy Treehouse. The others are just because I love to share!


Bowling is a camp favorite!







Believe it or not there is a hockey game going on in here. Watch out for your ankles!




And these kids have such great sportsmanship!



Thanks for looking!

Raw (e) Photo Challenge..

The challenge this week at Raw(e) is (2)6. The directions are to go into the second folder of pictures and choose the sixth photo in that folder. So here it is. The second folder of my smugmug site which happens to be a folder of favorites. This is a shot of my daughters last fall. It's the first photo I ever had printed on canvas. I feel like my photos have gotten a lot better since then (and I've lightened up on the Post processing a TON!) but this is still one of my favorites.

Photo Challenge Father and Child

This is my first time participating in the Two Moms photo challenge but as soon as I saw that the theme was Father and Child, I knew exactly what photo I needed to submit. I took this photo from my hospital bed after my second c-section. Isabelle was brought to the hospital to meet her new little sister for the first time. I remember reaching for the camera and almost tearing my stitches but it was totally worth it. When she came into the room she had a mouth full of goldfish crackers. I love that she stopped chewing to stare at her new baby sister in daddy's arms. This photo will always be my favorite. This was the day my family was complete.

I Heart Faces Challenge Purple

My girls wear a lot of purple, so finding a photo for this one wasn't going to be hard. Or that's what I thought. Once I had them all gathered up I realized that I should really try to pick one where the purple actually means something to the photograph. I love this picture because Sophie loves her purple tutu almost as much as she loves her pink boots!



Thanks for visiting!

My Favorite Photo....

Since really starting to learn how to use my camera I feel like the process has been two steps forward and three steps back. Every time I master one aspect something else comes along that sends me back to square one. For the most part I find it extremely frustrating. But it also gives me motivation to keep working at it since the photos I like keep getting better and better. I just want there to be more of them! So, this is my current favorite. And trust me, the girls are not standing around every day giving each other hugs.

Yum.

This is a picture of coleslaw. I can't stand how it tastes but I love how it looks! I wish I could say more about this, but honestly, it's coleslaw. This is about as exciting as it gets.

And the photo challenge this week over at Simplicity is the color white. I love how the white in this food makes all the other colors really pop!
