when Judah gets the camera

I often times let my little ones play photographer for a bit of the day. There is a special element to their pictures that ones taken by an adult do not have. Their points of view, their subject matter, their angles....all of it gives a tiny window into what they like and how they see the world. If you ever want to learn a little bit about a child give them a camera every now and then. Here are a few shots my little Judah boy took the other day.

 

What other things do you do that allow you to glimpse into a child's world?

If you have any questions about the items let me know and I can give you more details...a sketch can only go so far:)

Snow Day

  Finally we were blessed with substantial snow around these parts and we pulled out all the gear (least favorite part anyone??) and went sledding. It was a total blast flying down the hill with the little beans sitting there silently enjoying the ride and then seeing how filled with energy they became when the sled stopped.

    I have to admit sledding hills give me anxiety with all the kids zooming down on the ice as little ones blindly walk across the danger zone completely unaware of the impending doom. I saw one little girl taken out at the knees and that alone made me ready to call it a day. Sigh. While we were there thankfully no injuries took place that involved our little ones (besides Vera falling face down a few times in the snow...whoops) and for that I am thankful. I love sledding. It makes you feel alive and like a child and all fresh-faced from the cold wind. What fun!

Any snow related activities you have been up to? We have yet to build a snowman...I better get on that!

1. What is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? White Christmas

3. What is your favorite (non-alcoholic) beverage?  Coffee....really really good coffee.
4. What is your passion?  People. I love people, how they work, how they think, how they interact with each other and life. I also love acting, cooking, dancing, running, creating...most things in life that I do are my passions. I am a pretty passionate person ask anyone who knows me:)

6. What is your favorite time of the day?  Tough one. I love the morning when all my babes are waking up and crawling into bed with me. I love when Nate comes home from work and we have the whole evening ahead of us and I love nighttime when everything seems possible.
