So lately I have really been feeling like I have gotten away from taking as many images of our everyday life here at home, and realize that I really, really miss that.  That was really one of the first reasons I got into photography (which quickly became an all-consuming passion!)…because I wanted to document my boy’s childhoods.  Time passes by so quickly, and they aren’t babies anymore *tear* and I don’t want to forget all of these precious moments that I have with my kids.  I am so grateful to be able to stay at home with them (even though there are times that they make me crazy!) I want to be able to look back 10 yrs from now and remember all of the fun times that I spent with my wonderful boys.  Being a mother has brought so much joy into my life and there is nothing in this world that I would ever trade for it…nothing.  Photography is a means for me to be able to remember all of the silly little things that I am sure I would otherwise forget.  So from here on out I am going to go back to my roots and constantly photograph these silly little guys who love me no matter what, even when I decide not to comb my hair in the morning. 

Just a little taste of what our mornings are like…J(my youngest) is patiently waiting for his shower to get hot, so he can rinse off the oatmeal and blueberries he decided to smear on his face, hair and who knows what else.  It constantly amazes me how messy of an eater he is…I always wonder why he even bothers holding a spoon anyways, he eats with his fists instead.  That’s just how he gets down.  His eyes say it all…

And here is big brother C…he is “big” now (as he so lovingly tells me several times a day) and is over (kinda but not really) Thomas the Train and all of the hundreds of tracks he has…those are baby brothers now!  He is all into this Lego craze.  I knew he would be, because that’s what kind of kid he is…very hands on, he’s a thinker like his mommy and his grandpapa.  He was super proud of this thing.  It’s an airplane/pirate ship, per Mr. C.  We are going to submit this photo to Lego Club Magazine Jr. to see if they will publish his rad creation in one of their issues.  He is super excited and I couldn’t be happier for him…looking at how big he’s gotten melts my heart.

And a big thank you to Jonas for reminding me to just be me, crazy hair and all.
