"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Random Snapshots

I realized I haven't been taking much photographic evidence of my children's existence lately, so I left the camera downstairs hoping I'd take more pictures.

These stellar items were what I came up with... I am a photography GENIUS.... composition, lighting, texturing, and stuff. (Poetry, Photography, my talents are soooo endless... or something like that!)


These three love to watch anyone cooking. This must be because it is so rare. (I can't use all of my talents regularly, that would just be too much people!)

We played in the snow. I had been putting it off for about two years because - surprise, surprise - Jamie the pansy doesn't like to be cold.
Says E: "We never get to play in the snow!!!!!"
Anyway, it was sunny outside, so I geared them all up, geared myself up, and out we went. Then, GQ jumped in a puddle, got his mittens wet, took them off, stuck his hands in the snow, and started screaming.
Ten minutes after we'd gone outside I was relieved to find out that we would have to go inside.
Says Mom to sad E: "We are a family, and if GQ is unhappy we cannot make him stay outside."
Tragic.


This is when M got me in trouble.
You see, I saw her with this hat.
I took a picture.
I went upstairs and said to Justin: "M looked so cute wearing your hat... I just couldn't take it away."
Then, M used the hat to sop up a puddle of water in the middle of the living room.
I'm sure we can all imagine how that went.

This is GQ eating blueberries while he waited for his pancakes.



The end of my random photo collection. I am sure you all feel so inspired now.

Jamie, I think you are the funniest person I know. I laugh at every single post, and when I actually get the joy of being around you in person, am laughing at most everything that comes out of your mouth. You are one of those people that don't laugh at your own jokes, which makes it even funnier.

I laugh harder than anyone at my jokes. Just ask Mark.

The pictures are adorable. Especially of Meg in the hat.
