Today was dance costume photo day......I think I literally blew dust off my camera today. I've gotten used to poppin out the iphone for every kodak moment, so much so that I think it's been weeks since I've taken a picture with "the real camera". We grabbed some shots in the yard on this beautiful day before we left for picture day.
These sweet ballerinas sure are growing up...sniff sniff..
Well, while I missed this month's take 12 on the 12th...I wasn't short on phone photos during the month of April. I adore the app Instagram! Not to mention my relatively new(last fall) iPhone:) So I decided to choose my top 12 April Instagram photos. And next month I hope to catch the 12th!
It's not a great photo. A bit blurry...
She's wearing a polka dot shirt with Scotty dog leggings, both are a different shade of pink.
Her brown hair is uncombed and without a headband.
She has a cough and a cold.
But when I look at this photo my eyes fill up.
My baby grew in these last couple weeks. I'm sure of it. She looks different.
She's putting on her own shoes.
At 6:00 in the evening she decided to change her clothes by herself.
She loves pink.
Her eyes- they can take my breath away.
Isn't it amazing when a simple everyday photo becomes a moment that you want to remember forever. It forces a mama to want to stop time. She's almost 4.
We took the girls for some biking practice down at a nearby baseball field. Last year it was Maya's "safe haven" persay. She would only ride her two wheeler on this nice, padded, dirt field. Well, it's a new year and a new goal already accomplished! The field was a little bumpy after the winter and we convinced her the empty parking lot nearby would be smooth sailing. Needless to say- she took off! I "heart" this picture so much. It was the first time she got the bike rolling and her feet up pedaling on her own without Daddy's help. So proud! And let's not leave out little sister. The old training wheel bike was passed down and I think will get a lot of use this summer!
1. Laney and her cousins singing at church. A sweet little trio. 2. I love waking up to snow topped bushes. 3. Homework time! 4. Pop helping Mitchell learn the finer ways of cookie eating. 5. The eldest cousins sharing some dessert together after church. 6. An awesome snow wall made with a laundry soap bucket!
7. Morning snowfalls. 8. Very early morning coffee. 9. A woodpecker feasting at Papa's birdfeeder. 10. Grammy's added touch to the church ladies' cleaning gloves. 11. Maya making a snow angel. 12. Finally I caught Laney after she ran her little legs off avoiding my camera's view!
may look like a princess...but the 3's have hit. She wants what she wants when she wants it. And if she doesn't get it, everyone hears about it...for a LONNNNNNGGGGG time.
This picture melts my heart to little teensy weensy pieces...but I.will.not.give.in. to the cuteness. Well, maybe sometimes I will:)
Sooo, I was on Pinterest (who isn't) and I came across a photo a day challenge for February. I thought, why not! I'm already doing 12 photos on the 12th of each month, why not try a fun challenge with the themes each day already picked out!
I will probably make an album to the left but today I was having too much fun with my camera to just choose one. It was 50 degrees in these parts...that's unreal for today's date of February 1st!!!
The theme today: My View.
My favorite view today(well any days named Monday-Friday) is this view. My big school-ager coming home from the bus stop. And today- her and the sweet neighbor girl were walking with their arms around eachother.
Annnnnd while the above photo will be the official 'MY VIEW' for 2/1, I took a couple more that I couldn't help but posting as it was 50 DEGREES today!
Another view from the front porch....I {heart} them and am so so so very grateful for the amazing blessings of health that we have. Hug those babies of yours. Hug them tight.
And another view of the amazing blue sky today with the bare February branches in the foreground.
If you'd like to join in the February photo fun...tomorrow is words, hmmmm....
