Boxes for No Reason

DSCF1625

We didn’t quite make our plan for our dear Uncle K. happen. But we had intended to send

BIG WISHES!!

Alas we were not quite successful and instead sent

small wishes.


Uncle. K on the other hand once again achieved “Jedi Knight” or maybe Yoda?? then again it is probably “Sith” status what with the boys’ drawn to the dark side (ha ha ha ha). How? By sending the boys a Box for No Reason that had….action figures in it!! I think Boxes for No Reason are almost better than presents for an occasion. I snapped a picture of the boys saying thanks and enjoying their new people.

Best part of this idea was the attempt to get the above picture. I have four or so that look like this one:

Grace in Small Things #65

1. finding an old friend after a number of years AND finding her in a wonderful, happy place in her life.

2. hearing that another friend getting a weekend all to herself and finding myself feeling bubbles of happy for her!

3. knowing that one of my favorite book sales is coming up in just a couple weeks.

4. getting all the packages in the mail!

5. locating the boys’ artwork so I can photograph it for the upcoming Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2009.

Participate in Schmutzie’s Grace in Small Things!

In pursuit of that perfect picture

Every year I grab a dozen or so photos trying to get that one decent picture of the boy in his birth month. This years session for Jr. was much, much larger in photo number than ever before. Between camera shake (me) and wiggles (him) we have lots of blurry, twisted and sometimes a bit freaky photos. But I managed to find two that didn’t come out too bad:

Jr. 7 Take 354

Jr. 7 Take 109

Do you think we need to try again for that portrait picture? These do very much show who he is right at this moment.

Photo Challenge: Create

We didn’t create it. Nature did. But wow did we admire this huge icicle. It was almost as long as Lil’B!
