The Joy of Love: Day 5 | Southeastern CT Photographer

Love to Hate
Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE kids and mine especially, but sometimes the noise level is off the charts. What's one of the loudest noises ever? Marbles in a tin! My dad has so many marbles at their house for the kids to play with and keeps them in tins. So obviously they will swirl them around, dump them from tin to tin, throw them in the tins, etc, etc..... While at my parents' house yesterday, it was a good 10 minutes of marble on metal noise! It's so loud you can hardly hear yourself think over it, BUT they were having fun and not hurting each other, so I guess it's not all bad.

What They Wear
My dad LOVES his boots! I was almost bummed because when I thought about taking a picture of his boots, he wasn't home, but luckily he has 2 pairs of them. I actually haven't seen him in anything else outside of the house (besides snow boots) in months. My daughter says they are "so smooth" and touches them all the time. Pretty cute.

Then & Now
At the risk of my mom hating me forever, I am posting these pictures. I took a picture of the wedding picture of my parents that is hanging on their wall and then made my mom sit still so I could take a "now" picture. She seriously hates when I take her picture and was muttering things under her breath the whole time. Shhh.....don't tell her that the only lens I had with me was my wide angle (hehe).

The assignment for yesterday, which I never had a chance to download and post until now, was "What they look like".
Now, I may be biased, but my kids are ADORABLE! I decided to capture the funny little things, like how almost every time I point my camera at my daughter, she gives me a funny face. Now with my son, this is totally my fault. I'm potty training him so I put him in underwear and BabyLegs (which are the greatest help in winter potty training). I try to get his outfit to match, but let's face it, he's going to pee on the leg warmers anyway!

For those of you that follow my personal FB page, you'll know that my life has recently been turned upside-down and because of it, I haven't picked up my camera nearly as much as I used to. Once I saw the new "Finding the Joy" workshop by Willette, I knew it was just what I needed to start seeing things more positively and to have the best reason of all to pick up my camera for myself again. Over the next 28 days, you'll see daily blog posts showing the people (and pets) I love!
The first assignment is "What They Do", so here is a little collection of images that I have taken this morning of what my kids (and dog) do.

My daughter still sucks her thumb (you may notice chocolate on her hand as well)
