Our treasures

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”

Author: Thornton Wilder
The light was perfect..
there was a chill in the air.
And for a little while…
I was welcomed into their world.
To capture their love..
their giggles.
Their treasures.

The story of mommy’s bed

Its where she goes when she wants to nap..

where she scatters her ponies about.. and plays.

Where she goes when she’s upset…

when her belly hurts

& when she’s in trouble.

Its where she giggles… jumps and cuddles.

Where she fights sleep …

and falls asleep.

You’ll always find toys there….

under blankets..

behind pillows.

She’s there on rainy mondays… and sunny thursdays.

On fussy days…

and happy days.

It’s where she finds comfort…

where she feels safe.

“mommy’s bed”

Ever see a photographer who starts out with a 365 day project, or even a 52 week project and never finishes? Yeah, me too. Well, I recently joined a group of a few other busy photographers who decided to commit to a 12 month project! If we fail this, we’ll be taking donations for a time management seminar. The best part is that it will be totally candid, lifestyle shots of each of our own families/lives. We don’t even have to dredge up random people or make our kids pose for us. We’re calling the series “The Story of ________” and we’ll each be filling in our own blanks. At the end of this post is a link to another photographer who participated and she’ll be linking to someone else. It’s a whole big circle of stories in pictures. Click through and enjoy!

Little red wearing blue

It was her third Easter.

I found the sweetest little blue floral dress for her to wear.

On Easter morning she wanted to eat reesie pieces for breakfast… and I let her.

I taught her the real meaning of Easter… so once in awhile she would say “God died on a cross?”

She loved the cherry tree at her GG’s house.

The older kids shook the limbs so it would fall around like pink snow.

Little pink petals got stuck in her red curls.

She kept picking flower bushes to give to her daddy.

She loved her eggs that we dyed the night before.

When we got to grandma’s house… we hid them for a long time.

Grandma gave her a little basket to carry the eggs in.

The light was amazing.  The way it hit her hair……  thankfully I bought my camera this day.

Once in awhile a breeze would play with her curls.

Uncle Josh showed her how to juggle eggs……  every egg had to be tossed in the woods after her turn.

My little red wearing blue.

Happiness

“A True Home – A roof to keep out the rain. Four walls to keep out the wind. Floors to keep out the cold. Yes, but home is more than that. It is the laugh of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father. Warmth of loving hearts, light from happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship. Home is first school…for the young ones where they learn what is right, what is good, and what is kind. Where they go for comfort when they are hurt or sick. Where joy is shared and sorrow eased. Where fathers and mothers are respected and loved. Where children are wanted. Where the simplest food is good enough for kings because it is earned. Where money is not so important as loving-kindness. Where even the teakettle sings from happiness. That is home.”

The story of her princess dress

It was a Christmas gift from her moomaw & grandpa Tootie…

we all thought she would love it …. but not so much at first.

It took her until now to actually see the magic in it.

Now she’ll bring it to me saying.. “I wanna wear princess dress”

She always has to have her magic wand with her when she’s wearing it…

the bottom is already starting to fray… and sometimes the strings unravel and get tangled in her toes.

She’ll run.. and twirl…. and sing “Bibbidi bobbidi boo” through the halls.

I love how she’ll light up whenever I put it on her…. like that dress is just the best thing ever.

And for a little while………  she’s the prettiest red headed princess in all the land.

And I watch her twirl…

run…

and sing… “bibbidi bobbidi boo”

Until… she’s had enough.. and her imagination takes her elsewhere.

This is the story…. of a little red head… and her princess dress.
