The theme for this week is “a picture is worth a thousand words”. I adore this picture for so many reasons. The love between them just melts my heart. ♥

The theme for this week is “color my world”. I decided to post an older picture this time just because I think it fits the theme perfectly. This picture was taken three years ago, but it is still one of my all time favorites. ♥

The theme for this week is “it’s a good day for a picnic”. I thought it would be fun to let my boys eat breakfast outside. I was so excited. I had set everything up perfectly, but before I could even step back and take the first shot, my youngest son squirted his applesauce all over my beautiful turquoise blanket. It was all over after that. I’m sure you can imagine. I did get one shot that I love. I think they were looking at the blob of applesauce on the blanket. It wasn’t funny to me at the time, but I will probably look back on this one day soon and laugh. I kind of already am.

The theme for this week is “I don’t want to forget”. A few months ago I came across a letter that my grandmother wrote to me about 10 months before she died. I got to thinking about her and how much I miss her. I don’t want to forget her or her beautiful handwriting. ♥

The theme for this week is “a day in my life”. That is a tough one. Trust me, you would be pretty bored with a typical day in my life. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to take my camera with me on our trip to Dallas this past weekend. The first thing we did was stop for lunch. I snapped a few pictures of my boys coloring while we waited.

Next we went to the rehab center where my husband’s grandpa is staying. The boys love their great grandparents so much and they were so excited to see them.

Here are the cards the boys made for him. ♥

Then we were off to my niece’s birthday party.

By this time my boys were sick of the camera, so I decided to get some night bokeh shots on the way home.

The theme for this week is “dream, dream, dream”. I knew exactly what I wanted to photograph when I saw the theme. My son looks so innocent and sweet and peaceful while he is sleeping. I wanted to capture that in a photograph. ♥

I have had to skip a few weeks of my 26 week project, but I am back this week with a new excitement about seeing this project through to the end. The theme for this week is “takes my breath away”. I started thinking of things that take my breath away, and I couldn’t help but think of spring and how everything just comes alive. I always get so excited every year when the wisteria blooms. It is so beautiful and magical.

This is self portrait week and I must say I am really not good at these. Focusing and posing is so hard when you can’t look through the viewfinder. I didn’t get to take a new self portrait this week, so I am posting one I took in September. It still cracks me up when I look at it.

I had to skip week four, but I am back in the circle for week five. I have to say that this 26 week project has been more challenging than I thought it would be. For the month of March our technique is “framing” and our theme for week five is “favorite childhood book”. I immediately thought of this picture of my son reading his Corduroy book. It’s an older picture, but I thought it fit the theme perfectly. I just love the light here and he just looks so sweet. ♥

It’s week three of my 26 week project and boy was this week challenging, but I love trying new things and pushing myself to be creative. For the month of February our technique is “cinemagraph” and our theme for week three is “the people who keep me sane”. I wanted a picture of my children laying on the bed playing with my husband. It wound up being kind of a crazy setting. It makes me laugh to look at it now because I can remember all the crying and pouting that took place in between shots. I still love it though because this is totally them and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
