A 'mistake'

DSC_0001

I had just pulled my Nikon D60 out of it's box.  I didn't even know if the battery was charged.  I just said, "Smile" and CLICK, I got a real life moment...the moment my two-year-old - who just woke up from a nap - decided to smack her four-year-old sister.  I love this 'mistake'. It is MY LIFE!

Thinking...

that this 365 Photoblog isn't working for me....not now anyway.  I still plan on keeping this blog, but will be re-naming it (no more 365!) and won't have the goal of posting daily.  I keep a private family blog and that is the blog I wish to faithfully maintain as a record for the girls and to share photos and stories with family and friends.  I just don't have time for both on a regular basis.  I will still use this blog to share favorite photos and respond to some of the challenges of the Shutter Sisters.  I am inspired by these female photographers and hope to improve my skills and creativity via their site, readers' tips, readers' links and challenges!

outta time!

Laughter

Laughter

I can almost hear it....

Love Thursday - The New Little Sister

Addie loving Sadie BandW

This is an all-time FAVORITE photo! I used it on the birth announcement for my youngest. It is framed in her room and I look at it daily. 2.5 years later and they still LOVE each other....well, most of the time!

About Love Thursday - This is a weekly theme I plan to go with from Shutter Sisters. I am already starting to question if I can truly post for 365 days straight and decided I might need a weekly theme to keep me inspired! Thanks for the inspiration SHUTTER SISTERS!!!
