Menu Plan Monday June 24

Happy Monday!

I didn’t make a menu plan last week.  But I have to share with you what we had for dinner last night.

If I had realized it would have been such a hit, I would have photographed it!

Ian ate it without prompting and asked for more!

This is a huge deal.

I made Pork Chops Braised in Rum with Parmesan Garlic Orzo.  So easy and so yummy!

You will be seeing it in menu plans to come!

Since I don’t have a picture of our dinner, I thought I would share this picture of Baby Sid getting ice cream for the first time, from my Auntie.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting

This weeks challenge topic is ‘Fleeting‘

I had started to do these photo challenges to try to get back to photographing things other than my children.  Don’t get me wrong, I love taking and having their pictures, I just wanted to broaden my spectra.

 

However, this weeks challenge speaks of childhood.

Childhood is fleeting.  Innocence is fleeting.  Being able to find pure joy in the splashing of water is fleeting.

To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

~Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

In a blink of an eye our babies change to toddler; our toddlers turn to teens; and then our teens turn to adults.

Each picture I take is trying to capture that fleeting moment in their lives.

Happy Shooting

Weekly Photo Challenge: Escape

This weeks photo challenge is Escape.

I thought a lot about what ‘Escape’ means to me.

I have a lot of pictures of wonderful places I like to go.  Especially places around here.  My husband and I used to escape up to the mountains, when it’s nice, all the time.  So I have a lot of pictures

We would just throw the dogs in the car and drive.

Now though, I find my escape in these two boys.

There is no where I want to go, if they are not there too.

Happy Shooting
