i{heart}faces: pets

Thankfully, Grandma's puppy is much more social than our kitties

The girls LOVE the attention from a pet 

i think the feeling is mutual

for more awesome animal photos, visit iheartfaces this week!

i{heart}faces: shadows

I promise i'm still taking photos and editing them

i'm just getting lazy about the actual posting of them

But it seems i cannot resist posting for

the weekly iheartfaces contest!

Speaking of not having time, I didn't have time to pursue a really cool SHADOWS shot

i've seen some spectacularly creative photographs out there already.

Stunning. 

It will be worth just a bit of your time 

(sense the theme?!)

to check out more entries after you're done visiting here!

(Photograph taken in the early morning hours following a City Camp overnight)


edited to add:

can you believe it?!

i couldn't let a photo of my dedicated husband

slip past this week's contest

Here is today's 

SLICE OF LIFE

for more slices of life, visit iheartfaces!

79/365 (2011)

meet my hero

my husband

he ran me in the last 1/2 mile of the marathon

couldn't have done it without him!

(picture by my mom!)

78/365 (2011)

birthday party at the playground 

sweet third child in the swing

life for her will be crazy!

77/365 (2011)

Zoo!

watching the "mingos" 

with cousins

and a few randoms

fun stuff

76/365 (2011)

a lot of things are debatable

in this photo

(for example: is she Irish? Shouldn't the mom do something about that creepy Leprechaun? etc)

75/365 (2011)

a lot of chickadee chickadee love going on in this photo shoot

hooray for cuteness!

74/365 (2011)

thankfully 

my iphone camera

came through for me tonight 

or else

you'd be looking at a blank screen

73/365 (2011)

so, truthfully

i have a lot of photos from today

but they're all NAKED photos

so this one will have to suffice

gotta have some privacy, right?!

72/365 (2011)

She's a real runner now

lookout!

but don't be too alarmed

1/10 of a lap is about all she can muster

one day, though...

i{heart}faces: sun flare

ooo how i love sun flare

there's something so romantic

so ethereal 

so nouveau & risky & hip about not having a perfectly lit picture 

i had a few to choose from this week

(phew!!!)

but really, i think this photograph sums up the way i feel about sun flare:

it is romantic

it is ethereal

it is a an image of my family ingrained in my mind

on the very last day of 2010

where we literally let the sun set on a fabulous year

for more fantastic sun flare images, visit iheartfaces!

*the awesome thing is, it really IS this beautiful

with only an online editor to my name, nothing "cool" or extra was added*

71/365 (2011)

Today I hosted a shower

in honor of a "lady"*

in my Bible study

*Cutie Face calls the girls in my group ladies :)

70/365

literally

the only

picture

(seriously only one?!)

i took today 

:(
