Our life in black and white

My favorite photographs are the ones that are not staged. Simple and real and honest moments that you capture and hold onto for years to come. I tend to forget to take snapshots of my family just as we normally are. So today I did just that. I sat in my oldest' room while she and her sister played with some toys with their dad. I am sharing some of those moments with you.

While I am at it

2009 was a great year for us. I got to spend most of the year at home with my new baby girl. I could post some of my favorites of 2009 but frankly there are so many pictures and so little time. I came upon this picture earlier today and although it's not one of my favs I am really happy that I have it. I have so few pictures with my kids since I am always behind the camera and frankly very happy to be there. But seing this picture reminds me of how quickly our babies grow up and how one morning you wake up and your baby is now a walking and talking toddler. Ellie is about 4 months in this picture and here she is just a few days ago. Enjoy every moment, even if it is a crying and tantrum kind of moment! And don't forget to take lots of photos..

Been gone too long!

Life is busy when you have kids!! I have not posted a lot recently but wanted to share this one :) Definitely one of my recent favorites.
