Our first harvest of our mysterious tomato plant growing in the front yard. I won't even tell you my theory about why we have a random tomato plant in our front yard. Regardless of it's origins, there is nothing better than the smell of freshly picked tomatoes on my hands. Canon 5DIII || Sigma 35 ART

They do this. They share with each other. Makes a mama proud. That's the purest form of love. iphone 6
We took a chance, threw caution to the wind and took a 2 & 5 year old to a late baseball game that ended in the most incredible display of fireworks any of us has ever seen. It may have been midnight before we slipped on their PJs in the middle of the parking lot but we made it, all in one piece, everyone having a great time. iphone 6 & Fuji x100
The day got away from me. It was bedtime and I rocked him as I usually do but before I held him for the night, daddy came in piling loads of stuffed animals on him as has he laughed and laughed. I snapped the shot quickly with the only camera I had. That grin and that look in his eyes. He's such a stinker. iphone 6
It's beautiful. Watching him work, as though no one else is there. He drew for over an hour creating an intricate network of train tracks out of a stick of cobalt blue chalk. I adore his creativity. Canon 5DII || Tamron 17-35
Today marks 9 years of marriage. There are no words to describe what this amazing journey has been like. Even if I can find them, those words are for him and no one else. Some things are just for us. Thank you for it all. iphone 6
It's a Tuesday, nothing special, just a day with my boys. { Big boy little } asked for waffles for breakfast and as I opened the freezer door he shook his head...no, the big waffles. Alrighty then, let's do it. It's something we always do together. I remember when he first started making them with me, the mom I was then. I would stand over him, making sure every measurement was perfect and no ingredients spilled. The type A in me coming out. But now I step away. I watch them work together. Flour on the counter, no big deal. A little extra salt, that's just fine. It's hard for me to do that. To lose control. But it's good for them, and I'm sure I'm getting something out of that freedom too. Canon 5D II || Tamron 17-35
This was his last as our houseguest. His mommy came home today. Having him here made me think of our brown dog. I do miss her and even though she has been gone for 2 years, { Big boy little } still talks about her and tells me he misses her. Although he was a sweet little pup, two little boys are enough for me at this stage in our lives...so don't worry hun, you can take owning a dog off the list for at least another 5 years...maybe more.

They deserved a chance to run and play and squeal as { baby little } dunked his head into the sprinkler heads. It was a long day in the car on the east side, and they were good and as patient as a 5 and 2 year old could be. Canon 5D III || Tamron 17-35
It was an ordinary Saturday and that's what I loved about it. The boys started the day with LeapFrog video games and then moved to the yard for play in the sprinklers, crashing trucks and playing baseball. {Big Boy Little} coached his baby on how to hold the bat and swing for the ball. It was precious. Canon 5D III || Tamron 17-35

What now?It truly is a labor of love each day to search for just the right image(s)...the ones that represent our daily lives...edit them, organize them, write about them. What a wonderful experience and an amazing amount of growth this year for me. It has been a great journey but one I am not jumping into again just yet. I am going to take a breather, let the dust settle and let inspiration find me and lead me to my next project. For now, I will continue to post about our lives but only when I feel it.
