It's so much fun to have a group of teens who are always looking for a new FB shot. I have a great new lens, the Sigma 50mm 1.4, and I'm still trying to figure out it's shooting range, so I was more than happy to oblige.

I don't usually shoot events, but a good friend from college asked. Congrats Brooke and Al!

I have watched this you tube video three times today, and I am so thankful to have stumbled upon it. What a great reminder to cherish each and every day with your children, and most especially, the ordinary days. I resolve to take more snapshots, and truly be "present" in each moment I get to share with my children. Of one thing I am certain, they will be grown long before I am ready for them to be.

The gift of an ordinary day

With the kids home for most of the past two weeks (between snow days and president's day weekend), I have fallen off of blogging. Rachel was happy to do model duty in exchange for a facebook file.

i live in flip flops all summer long. there is nothing more comfy than my black ones, almost completely worn through up by my toes. i will have to feel the hot pavement breathing through before i even think about replacing them.
