Peace
Two-&-a-half-weeks ago, my oldest turned seven. He's wild, loud, rambunctious, kind, loving & incredibly intelligent. I asked him for a few pictures, as a seven year-old. He wasn't too keen on the idea, but he obliged; this is his space- his desk, he quickly decorated with stickers & markers.
His tee-ball trophy, he received for playing a couple seasons ago; the black sticky substance on the bunkbed, that seems to perfectly hold his shrinky-dinks; his stegosaurus model (he wants to be a paleontologist); & his lego Chima- he's thoroughly obsessed with them. This is his little spot of peace.
'Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise,
trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of all those things
& still be calm in your heart.' -unknown
Wish You Were Here 2/52
Wish You Were Here ...virtual postcards from around the world Dear Friends, We're finally enjoying some snowfall- it's been such a strange winter. Perhaps this is our start to winter, just a couple months later than usual. We're trying to fully enjoy it, hopefully getting a sledding & snowman day in soon. In other exciting news, the Seahawks won their playoff game today. Here's to another weekend of our football season (I don't know why, but I'm kind of a football fanatic). We also celebrated Ry's 7th birthday last week, with friends & family...& back to our school routine. Life is good. xo
Wish You Were Here 1/52
Wish You Were Here ...virtual postcards from around the world Dear Friends, It's the first of the year. 2014. We celebrated the New Year with family- & fireworks. We're feeling refreshed & reenergized as we step into this New Year. What is it about New Year's that seems to wipe the slate clean? A time for new dreams, hopes, realities- a time for change. I don't know the answer, but I get those feelings. & I like it- I like feeling ready to take on the day, just a little bit stronger than before. I hope 2014 finds you happy & healthy, & most of all, content. Life is good. x0

Ella & the balloons
With the close of my 365 project, I thought I'd be taking less pictures in 2014.I've proven myself wrong. In fact, I think I'm taking more. Not quite ready to say I'm doing another 365, but I am trying to keep shooting- to learn, to grow, to experiment, to have fun.
