One Reason Why We Love Where We Live

Posted on | November 10, 2009 | 3 Comments

It’s all about the outdoors. Saturday afternoon was too pretty to waste indoors so in spite of J’s congestion, we decided to get outside and enjoy ourselves with an easy walk. The puppy was beside herself with joy, you have no idea. Or maybe you do!

Hubby and I got to take turns with the camera. Irony: I took wide shots while he took up-close shots. Ironic because he wants a wide angle lens and I want a macro. Want, want, want…we’ll be wanting for a good long while. But let me share some of what we did manage to capture because the boys were being very indulgent towards us shutterbugs:

First, hubby told them to stop so he could take his picture and this is what happened:

After mom said something like “no smiling” the smile did make it to his eyes:

NM is just as silly sometimes:

But he has such a sweet smile:

And when he complained about getting closer to the ground like I asked him to, his Abba told him a silly story that made him give this look:

Now this is a look I was afraid we would never get on camera:

This is the face he makes when he gets shy and happy at the same time, like when you call his attention to the fact that he’s really cute and you just have to take his picture. Yes, yes, yes, there’s food all over the front of his shirt but that’s his privilege as a boy.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing them like this.

    Your boys are so cute! And you’re a terrific mom. By documenting their growing-up years, you’re establishing a great look into their past that they will really appreciate once they’re grown. Kudos!
