Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

This week’s challenge is the word “Up”

When I here the word up, I always think of my kids.

“Up, Mama, Up!”  I hear that a lot.

Last summer Ian got to ‘climb’ his first tree.

Meaning my husband lifted him up to sit in the branches.  Ian LOVED it!

I remember how big he looked up there in the tree and how proud he was.

He still says “up” to me all the time, but now he is so big.  But I guess I still pick him up…

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.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Lunchtime

I have been itching to push the trigger button for a while now.

Between working, blogging, homemaking, mothering, wifeing, party planning and all the other things I feel I am doing, I have not been able to do any photographing.

Don’t get me wrong, I use my camera.  But recently it has been picture for this blog or of my children.  Now these are valuable pictures and worth taking.

My children are adorable and I love taking pictures of them, but I miss taking other pictures.

I miss pictures with no people in them.

I have been looking for some online picture-taking incentives.  what?

I need someone or something to push me into taking those shots.  WordPress hots a weekly photo challenge.  They give us a topic we shoot it and then blog about it.  I decided to try it.

I am hoping to find other online challenges to get me out there shooting again.  If you know of any, share them with me, please.

This week’s topic…Lunchtime

This month is a phonetography month, so all pictures are taken with our phones.

This is what I eat when I forget my lunch…

Happy Shooting
