Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

I have been working on some things for a baby shower this weekend and realized I have not posted anything on Ian’s birthday party.  But today is not the day for it either.

However, I did want to take a minute and post about the weekly photo challenge.  This week the topic is Change.

With that in mind, it always amazes me how quickly a baby changes.  One day he is a messy little squirmy thing that can hardly open his eyes and the next day he is sitting up eating food by himself.

In the blink of an eye my newborn baby has turned into a Bouncy Baby Boy.

Since we can’t get those days back, I keep trying to capture them in film and written words.  That way when I am old and senile I can look back and remember.

Happy Shooting

Daily Thanks Day 22

Today, and all days, I am thankful for my family.

My family on Ian’s first Thanksgiving

I am thankful for ALL of my family.  My mom, my dad & step-mom, my grandparents (all of them), my parents-in-law, my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law, my brother, my nieces, my nephew, my cousins, my aunts, my uncles, those who are basically family (you know who you are), my husband and my kids.

But of course I couldn’t forget my wonderful sister, who is always there for me and she is my closest friend.

I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful family and I am so very thankful for each of them.

 

I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Daily Thanks Day 21

Today I am thankful for you.

This day got off to a late start.  Both boys are sick, so not only did I not get this posted, but I didn’t get much sleep.

 

I am thankful for all of you who have read, who do read, who follow and who like my posts.  I appreciate you taking the time to read what I have to say, so thank you.

Daily Thanks Day 20

Today I am thankful for my husband.

 

I meet my husband when still in high school back in ’96, we have been together ever since.

We have struggled and had our ups and downs but our love for each other has always prevailed.   We continue to grow and change for the better, every day.

I couldn’t imagine my life with out him and love him dearly.
