Glimpses Week 7

This week we found out that some of our very best friends are going to have another baby boy and we are so thrilled for them! This means that Liam's best older bud is going to have a brother. He has been so incredible to Liam and he is going to be an awesome big brother. We had a late celebration dinner and these guys spent the rest of the evening mastering the ipad. The newest generation is being labeled Generation Alpha. Gen A is suspected to be the most formally educated generation in history. Because all of their toys are electronic and/or battery powered, it is no wonder they can navigate a computer or phone or in this case an ipad better than their parents. "These 'Google' kids are really being shaped in a world of technology and consumerism."

Don't forget to head over to the Chic Critique forum and check out the rest of the everyday, weekly glimpses!

Glimpses Week 6

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep,

If I shall die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen.

This week I decided to capture a glimpse into our nightly routine. This makes my heart happy. Join us in this journey with the Chic Critique Forum and share some of your everyday moments to love.

Glimpses Week 5

Superbowl XLVI was a Touchdown!

We started the night with friends, beer and fat food...

and then let Liam stay up till the last score at home.

It's not too late to join the Chic Critique Forum and many other photographers in the Glimpses Project 52. It is seriously one of the best challenges I have taken on. And so rewarding!

Glimpses Week 4

Bad habits start young, but it was his birthday... and his daddy was doing it...

Join us and the Chic Critique gang as we are inspired by daily glimpses in our everyday lives. It has truly been so much fun!

Glimpses Week 3

He took all my calls,

Typed a few emails and 

Signed off on some paperwork. 

My little MLK Day intern.

Join us on the Chic Critique forum and share your everyday moments with their Project 52 "Glimpses" project. We are having so much fun...

Glimpses Week 2

If you are new to this, I have embarked on a journey to capture everyday moments at least once a week over the next year. To start from the beginning, click here. I am so excited to share this project with you and I hope to find beauty in our daily activities! Join us on Chic Critique and capture your own "glimpses!"

I am not a coffee drinker, but my husband definitely is. Making coffee with daddy is a part of our morning ritual. Coffee pots have come a long way. It is more like a space shuttle launch sequence but this toddler has no trouble navigating. Its the best part of waking up!

Glimpses Week 1

One of my favorite photographers, well, people in general has been posting inspirational shots of her "everyday" life with her precious girls. You can check out Shalonda's work on Chubby Cheek's Photography Blog here... and you might just catch her on the tail end of a fabulous 12 day giveaway! It was so moving for me that I wanted to attempt to create these moments for our family as well. It wasn't until joining the Chic Critique forum here and the kick off of their "Glimpses Project 52" that I got a kick in the pants and the jump start that I needed. It is amazing when you really stop and take a moment what beautiful memories you can capture in the simplicities of everyday life. I am excited about embarking on this new journey and while I may not make every week, I hope to capture as many of our day to day activities as possible. Please also excuse the horrible first entry. The light is in the harsh of the day and there are so many imperfections with the shot it is almost embarrassing to post. However... when you hear its music for the first time in such a long time, you remember the magic of the ice cream man. We went rushing out the door without shoes and money in hand and after a little "tracking" brought the ice cream truck to Mea and Pop's small town front door for Liam's first Entertainer experience.
