defining the circles that make me whole

Today I received a second Christmas card created with photos I shot! It is such a huge confidence booster to me to see people using the images in that way.

Big brother, little brother.

Yes, this is a picture of my boys putting out the trash. But what the pixels don’t show is just how eager the little one is to be like his big brother. When Fuller (now 8) was 3 he never would have heaved a bag of garbage into the can. But Tebow (now 3, going on 8) has something Fuller didn’t have- a big brother. And it makes such a difference.

Church Christmas Party!

A moment in time, spending the evening with Tebow watching Charlie Brown’s Christmas.
For the third time.
I could have spent time working on photos, cleaning the kitchen, or doing something else. But on a day like today, when the sense seems to have been knocked out of the world and when you want to hug your children tighter, watching Charlie Brown for the third time doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Magical gingerbread swirls

It’s kind of a yearly thing for me now, the making of the gingerbread and photographing the swirls. Much more lovely than the sugar cookie dough. And if you want the gingerbread recipe, which I will swear by as the best gingerbread cookie and/ or house dough, then you are welcome to it!

Cub Scout happiness!
