Back to Life

After 4 months 21 days we have decided to resume a normal schedule. Today, as a family, we went to church. All 6 of us for the complete 3 hour block.

And as a side note . . .

I'm still waiting for a new family picture. Today would have been a perfect day since we were all sporting our Sunday best. The daffodils are in full bloom presenting a perfect backdrop for some outdoor photos but the weather is still too chilly for my fair-skinned bundle of joy. The girls also changed from their new Easter dresses quicker than quick.

Andy and the boys did fall victim of an impromptu indoor photo shoot. I snapped over 30 images and nothing was extra impressive. It wasn't any easier to get a good picture of Andy than of Aysen. Shouldn't he be old enough to smile and focus 100% of the time? Have I ever mentioned I want to learn how to take photographs? How to capture real life moments? My home is full of empty frames waiting for pictures I deem worthy. When will I take my desires and turn them into reality? So much easier to say than to do.

One photo turned out (I hate to admit Andy took it) . . .

It is my new favorite photograph. It tells a story. This will be the picture I use IF I can ever take a class on how to do a little digital touch-up. It is almost perfect but with a little more it could be amazing.

Can you see the love?

I'm blessed. A healthy family, disposible diapers, warm home, money for clothing, plenty to eat, and children who have so much to smile about!

This summer the frames will be filled . . . another goal.
