52 Weeks of Me - Week 5 {Daily Activity}

This weeks theme was daily activity. I thought of the million things I do and couldn't decide on which one I wanted to capture. I then realized that there is one activity that I participate in everyday without fail, even on the weekend.
My boys love to snuggle first thing in the morning, especially Francesco. We always sit in the chair and take a few minute to wake up and snuggle. I love how their hair is all a strew and sticking up and their body's are still warm from being under the covers all night. I know this activity will come to an end one day so I am getting it while I can.


Next weeks theme is: At Arms Length
That should be fun and easy. Don't forget that you can jump in an join at any time. We have the Flickr pool as well for those who either don't have a blog or don't wish to post to their blog.

I also would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions for themes. We have the theme's we have come up with so far listed over on the Flickr pool.

Friday Lights: Surrendering to Simplicity

As Tracey said things have felt complicated lately. The resent rash of snow storms has helped me to slow down and really enjoy the quiet stillness that it brings.
When life gets out of hand it's nice to stop and focus on the moment at hand.


I can remember being outside taking these photos and it was so quiet since no cars were on the road, no buses picking up children, no trash being pick up. The quiet of a snow storm is amazing.


The memory of these photo's illustrate the emotional connection I had to this event, the simplicity of the snow, brought quiet to my day.

TUT-Stacked

Jen I are following along with the ladies over at Megan's and Melody's and going with the theme "stacked" this week. I love Jen's take on the theme, I so should have gathered the many toys a strew about my house and stacked them. I opted for the obvious stacks in my life being the mounds of laundry I encounter everyyyyyyyyyy weekend. It just seemed appropriate for this theme.



Please head over and check out with the other ladies are stacking up for today:

Musing

I was honored to be asked by the talented Tammy Lee Bradley to write a post about "what inspires me" to be featured over at Mortal Muses. Please swing on by and check it out.

Mass

I decided to start taking Francesco to mass with me on Sunday's. I know he is not sure what it's all about but he knows what a prayer is an the sign of the cross (it's a start).



I was really proud of how well he behaved even though he was done with the novelty of it by the time the priest was saying the gospel. What cracked me up was his willingness to sign along even though he didn't know the words. He even held the missal and followed along with the readings.

Before mass started I let him take a few shot with the camera. I love that they are from his point of view.


This one is my favorite:

Week 4 - Focus on Unusual Elements

This week theme was not easy for me and I can imagine not easy for others. I did like it though because it forced me to think outside the box. I tried a few other things that I didn't like as much as this happy accident of actually capturing myself in the eye of my baby. I just love it.



Next week theme: Daily Activities
Show us your daily life, with you in it of course. I am really looking forward to seeing others photo's with this theme (actually I look forward to everyone photo's each week).

I am off to go see what others have come up with, won't you join me? Flickr Group
