The reason is that the light is so bright and everything is so green. I just love the way the colors pop. So today I was determined to catch some of that fantastic light showing off my favorite subjects, my kids. :)
However, after seeing my husband's reaction when I told him of my plans to do a mini-shoot with the kids, I decided to just take my oldest, ML.
She is normally my one that is the hardest to get pictures of because she always looks away from the camera. But I thought, hey, I have the time and want to capture her in this age right now so we headed out. And wouldn't you know it? She suddenly turned into a model!
Oh she showed up for this one! :) "It's make your momma proud time!"
I also needed a little time with her. We had somewhat of a tough week. I forget that she is only 9. I expect so much from her. I always have.
I needed this time to reflect on her as a kid. Not the oldest. Not the helper. Not the peacemaker. Just her. Her childhood. How I love this one who is so patient with a mother who is learning.
Heavenly Father knew I would need her as my first. :)
What a blessing she is to me.
When we got back here is what we found:
Claire and her rolly-pollies. She collects these all day long.
Mr. and his basketball. This kids is a sports nut just like his dad.
What a wonderful thing it is to be a mother.
Even if I do have kids screaming because they don't want to go to bed as I write this. ;)
There is always light to be captured.
