The light has been taunting me and I finally pulled the trigger and got the girls outside for a few pictures. Audrey ate leaves as if they were delicious crackers and Maggie played in them for about ten minutes before she decided to take her boots off. Maggie is my child that never gets cold, loves direction and order….Audrey, on the other hand, requires socks and right now, in her current state of exploring the world as a crawler, leaves a trail of destruction behind her….or a trail of crumbs. Watching Audrey outside touching and tasting everything that she could get her hands on was fascinating, her world is literally expanding right before our very eyes.
This month on Instagram I’m participating in the 30 Days of Thanks challenge, and I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I know that being grateful comes easy most days – for the simple things – but doing the 30 day challenge is forcing me to put words (and a picture!) to the things beyond my typical scope. I tend to be very sentimental and thrive on things like this, and what a perfect way to enjoy this season by looking for the small things that make me feel happy/lucky/thankful.
Maggie’s still in her undies, Audrey is taking a big morning nap, Barry is getting ready to go rake up the leaves, and I’m finally posting some pictures & words on the blog….Happy Saturday to you and yours!!
These are stunning….color,composition and SUBJECT MATTER!!!!!
Oh man! Those leaves are making my mouth water! Not to mention those gorgeous girls and that quilt (the orangey-gray one–is that your mom’s doing?) I don’t do instagram (I don’t even do cell phones…which raises the question: do instagrams have to be cell phone images?), but I do peek at my favorites here and there–saw your 30 day of thanks recently and love it.
