So, there's this project called 10 on 10 that I've been seeing a lot of really talented photographers participating in and I thought I'd jump in on the fun. I know today is the 12th and that 'technically' makes me two days late on this project, but that's ok! But if there's a reason to capture more images of my family in addition to linking my images to other super talented photographers, then I'm doing it. :)

This week I've been working hard (with my little helper, of course) to try to get out from under this huge, growing, massive pile of laundry that seems to be never ending. I usually take the baby into the laundry room with me, sit her down on the floor and begin sorting and loading and drying. Once the washing machine is started and it fills up with water she'll usually start pawing at me and climbing up my legs. She's actually deathly afraid of the washer. But for some reason, this day was different.
I sat her down, started another load and turned away to sort the rest of the laundry. The next thing I know I turn to pick her up and find her with her face pressed against the machine watching the clothes tumbling around. She was hopping up and down excitedly and since this was the first time she wasn't crying for me...I HAD to grab my camera.
I laughed pretty good while I watched her being a little curious.
2012 brought along a ton of challenges. But I'm happy to say that 2013 is here and I'm tired of looking behind me thinking of what I could have done better. This year I've committed myself to participating in two 52 week projects. One of them is a lifestyle project documenting our lives, as they are right in this moment. This project is near and dear to my heart. My family is growing and the years seem to slip past me way too fast. So with the help from Paint the Moon Photography I'll be doing my best to make sure I capture something - at least once a week for a whole year.
This past week's prompt was "nightly rituals". This is my take...
I needed to run some errands today and since I've been working hard at shooting my kids more (I know...sounds horrible - LOL!) I thought we'd stop by our local neighborhood park for about an hour. It gave Thea some fresh air and time to chew on the dirty swing and eat leaves. All kids need to do that, right? Hahahah.
If it wasn't 38* outside today and breezy, we could have stayed there longer! The sun has finally decided to pop out from behind those rainy clouds and it was nice getting out of the house for a change.
First, I have to say that I'm soooo super excited that 2013 is here! It's a new year, new beginnings, new things to learn and uncover. My new branding was created just a short month or so ago, and today I spent some time creating this blog/site. So, WELCOME! :)
Our winter this year has been filled with more rain than snow. This makes me a little sad because I've had my heart set on taking the kiddies outside to enjoy the white fluffy stuff. Especially since my daughter's first birthday is coming up soon and I think it would be the most amazing thing for her to see snow before then. Until then, we're mainly stuck inside...which suits the kids just fine! (Considering Christmas just passed and they've got TONS of things to keep them occupied.)
I'm actually totally ok with this arrangement! Because my oldest won't be 'this' young for much longer. And right now, he's very willing to spend his days playing with his baby sister. <3
I'm still secretly wishing for some snow though. Haha.
