You Capture | People

December 1st, 2011

I sat in the rocking chair with Clara. She was beginning to fuss. It was obvious she was wanting to sleep but was having trouble getting there. I had her wrapped up in her sweet little blanket. Eli sat on the couch, his eyes tired from a cold and waking up too early. I watched him look over at me, evaluating the coziness of Clara and I snuggled up together. He got off the couch and stood in front of me with his arms up, his eyes big. It wasn’t easy but I manuvuered in such a way so he could sit with his. Clara stirred and began to cry, somehow I was able to nurse her. There we sat. Three people, perfectly comfortable, happy.

I sat there and realized how thankful I am for people. Seems so simplistic but really, how often do we say thanks for the people we interact with on a daily basis. Even those we don’t know.

I loved this week’s challenge. (I’m hoping it wasn’t too much of a challenge for you!)

I had a session this week with a little one:

newborn

mama love

and then there’s my people:

Clara 8 weeks

(first haircut!)

and playful people, sitting in their little brother’s desk.

noah

and (reluctant) homework people.

anna-third-grade

and I have even more people but Clara is asking me, in not such a polite way, to feed her. So, I better listen.

Now, it’s your turn to share!

    Love these photos, particularly the last one – so much concentration there.
    I can’t see a linky – maybe it’s my computer though!

    Eli looks likes such a big boy and doesn’t seem to be minding his first haircut at all.

    There are so many absolutely magical things about this post. Eli’s eyes and Anna’s hair are two of my favorites.

    What beautiful people surround you on a daily basis. Does Eli look like a little Brian, or what???

    I love thinking about that moment with you and your 2 little ones. I think it sounds so sweet and I love the way Eli was so nice about asking to join your cozy little party. Loving all of the pictures, of course. I miss your kids already!
