You Capture – A Moment

This week’s “You Capture” theme at i should be folding laundry is “A Moment.”  One week ago today I had my beautiful new baby girl.  We knew she was coming, as it was a scheduled c-section, but we didn’t know she was a “she” as we wanted to keep that a surprise.  As soon as one of the doctors said they saw lots of hair, I just knew…both of my boys were completely bald.  Needless to say, we’ve had lots of moments in the last week…here are a few…

My husband took these two of her first moments…

Here is another moment in the hospital… My little family…She is already much loved by her brothers…A “smiley” moment with my grandma…Daddy’s first moment dressing his little girl…65 degrees the day she was born and 2 days later we came home to this…Her first bath at home…The boys had to watch the second bath…I love these moments…My oldest showing her the doll he bought her…My 19-month-old’s first time holding her…he is now obsessed!He thinks she always needs a paci too!A girly moment…my oldest son keeps putting bows in her hair, “so she’ll look pretty”…   A sleepy moment on Grandma’s shoulder…  And finally, a rare moment where both boys were sitting quietly! 

Be sure to check out other moments at i should be folding laundry and wish Beth good luck, as she will be having a baby next week!

“Focusing on Angles”

The theme this week at i♥faces is “Focusing on Angles”.  This is a picture of my new baby girl, born last Thursday, that I took in the hospital.  After having two little boys it was fun to play dress up!

You Capture - Hopeful

This week’s You Capture theme at i should be folding laundry is “Hopeful”.  I’m hopeful for so many things right now…2 weeks from today I’ll be having our third baby, so I’m hopeful for a safe delivery and healthy babe (didn’t get around to any belly pictures this week though, darn it!)  Here are some other “Hopeful” subjects for me:

Brothers…I hope they’ll always love each other this much…

 …and that the oldest will always be patient enough to listen to his little brother… This shot is pretty boring, but a couple days ago this was solid white, so the mud makes me hopeful for spring…The oldest gets to play outside again…something I’ve really been hoping for!  Meanwhile the youngest, who’s had the croup all week, is hopeful he’ll get to go outside soon too…(don’t mind the dirty window…the cats won’t leave it alone!) Here’s our dog, Joe, hopeful for some attention…(he got it a few minutes later when my son pretended his ears were wings and flapped them up and down…Joe’s a really good dog!) The cats, hopeful the oldest will feed them when I’m not looking……and this one hopeful the youngest will let her in (sorry kitty!)  Another one of Joe…no snow in sight and the fact that he is laying outside instead of in his beloved insulated doghouse makes me hopeful for spring too! And finally, we got new gravel on our driveway today, so I’m hopeful my van will stay a little cleaner now!  The oldest decided he’d start spreading it around before Daddy came home ;-)

Hands-On Fun

The theme this week at i♥faces is “Hands-On Fun” and it’s one of those themes that doesn’t require a face in the photo, although the pic I chose has one.  It’s been forever since I posted anything…I’m so pregnant and uncomfortable right now that sleep usually always sounds better than anything else!  I thought I would do it this week though, so I’m getting this one in just under the wire.  This is my 1 year old son praying before supper…this is how he started holding his hands when we say the prayer and I love it because it’s exactly how my 4 year old son held his hands when he first started praying.

“We Are Family”

This week’s challenge at i♥faces is “We Are Family”.  This is my good friend and her family…they’re HUGE Oklahoma football fans.  I did a family photo shoot for them and it wasn’t complete until we got some shots with their Oklahoma sweatshirts on.  I don’t do too many photos black and white with color, but I thought it really made the red stand out on this one.  (Note:  to non-Oklahoma fans – I have no preference for sports teams, this is just a pic of my friends!)

You Capture - Winter

Okay, I know You Capture at i should be folding laundry was last Thursday, but my internet hasn’t been working and I had all these pictures I took last week of “winter” around my house, so I am posting this REALLY late!  We’ve had a cool frost a couple times in the last week, so most of these are of that, but they all have one thing in them – lots of SNOW! 

I have so many more, but that was way too many already!  Be sure to check out everyone else’s cool pics at i should be folding laundry.

Best Face Photo

i♥faces is turning one!  This week’s challenge is “Best Face Photo” and your photo had to be taken in December or January.  This is my one-year-old son after sledding with his daddy and big brother…he was really tired!  I loved his rosy cheeks too :-)  I took it on December 27th.
