It's been so long since I posted for favorite shot friday! Maybe it's a sign that things are getting back to normal or new normal or whatever it is now at almost 4 months old. Basically, every day is a juggling act. I am trying to balance what I have to do with what I feel like I need to do with what I want to do with what others want me me to do. It's a worthwhile juggle, though, and one that is rich with rewards...rewards like this sweet smile from Einin. I wouldn't trade the daily dance for anything in the world.
What about you? Do you have any favorite shots this Friday? Leave links to your images, blogs, Flickr, etc. here or add them to my favorite shot friday Flickr pool!
Happy weekend my friends, enjoy the balancing act!

Joyful! I just love this little boy. I get to see him only for short periods of time but he is always happy! He laughs easily and takes joy in the simplest of things. We should all take a cue from him. The simplest little thing, like bubbles, made him so excited. His sweet little smiles were so infectious that I was all smiles myself.
What about you guys? Any shots that made you smile this week? I'd love to see them...post links to your images, blogs, Flickr, etc. in the comments section below or add them to my FSF Flickr pool.
Happy weekend everyone!

Sweet, sweet, brothers! I had so much fun photographing these little boys the other day. They are such charmers. This first shot is definitely my favorite but here are a few runner-ups too.
While these little guys were pretty darn close to perfect, I have to include this last one just so you know that it wasn't ALL hugs and cuddles. Sometimes big brothers cuddle a little too hard.

How Favorite Shot Friday works...you post your favorite pics on your blog (Flickr or wherever) and then comment here with a link. People who come here go and visit your blog. They then put pictures on their blog and link back here too. It creates a big, awesome circle of fun images. Don't be shy, join in!

Tomorrow two of my aunts have volunteered to host a baby shower for me. I feel giddy about it. For some reason, it makes me feel really young. Maybe it's because it reminds me of my bridal shower. Seeing as this is the first girl baby grandchild for my parents (after 4 boys) I expect an explosion of pink. I imagine the sea of pink to also be trimmed in pink ruffles and perhaps a pink bow or two.
I am really enjoying the feeling of celebration that seems to surround this baby. While I am looking forward to my normal silhouette again (and drinking more than a sip of wine here and there), I have to say that I will be a little sad to see this pregnancy go. This is my very last. This is the last time I'll feel a baby move inside me, watch my body change and experience that tender feeling of carrying such precious cargo. I am grateful beyond words to my husband for his leap of faith that has allowed me to experience this one more time.
Today we had a 3-D ultrasound done. I'm not sure what I loved more, seeing her sweet face or seeing Steven's face as he watched her. He's smitten already and she's not even out yet.

The photos (as always) are precious, but I really enjoyed reading what you had to say. It sounds like you're really living every moment! Enjoy!

Thinking a lot about mothers and daughters these days...
I guess it's obvious why. I've spent the last 8 years experiencing the magic of mothers and sons. Now in 8-9 short weeks, I'll have an entirely new dynamic in my life. To be honest, it's a little scary. I know, rationally, that I just need to be myself and approach it like I did my relationship with the boys, meaning just do what comes naturally to me. It is going to be different though and I'm as excited as I am terrified by it.
I would love to see how you guys "picture" moms and daughters. Do you have any favorite images to share with us? Images from your childhood maybe or images that you've taken? Post links to your images, blogs, flickrstreams, etc. in the comments below or submit them to my FSF Flickr pool.
