Day 78 - In a Few Brief Seconds...

1/17/2014

6 Comments

 
Do you ever look at your child and their life flashes before your eyes and you can't for the life of you figure out how they got so big? 
In a few brief seconds of looking at him tonight these are the things I remember:
Labor wasn't as bad with him, it only lasted 10 hours.
Everyone in the hospital room became very serious after his birth.
He was taken from me.
He was intubated.
He was taken away.
Girl meeting him for the first time.
Hiding him from Girl.
Rocking him in the blue glider rocker.
Climbing on the table throwing flowers everywhere.
Climbing the fence with underwear on his head.
Climbing everything.
Color tints in the tub & splashing all the water out.
Swinging, smiling, running.
Laughing.
Crying.
Stressing over Daddy being gone.
Biting nails.
Soccer.
Swimming.
Funny guy.
Not so funny guy.

Smart as a whip.
Loving.

My sweet boy.

I was trying to mimic something cool I saw over at Click it up a Notch -
I did OK...not great for what I was trying to do, but as soon as I snapped this shot (my only try) the light I was shining on him woke him up....

have taken pics of my girls sleeping on Christmas Eve since they were little. For some reason I just love capturing that moment. I will never share those pics as they would kill me now that they are older 😊 but I think I will some day look back on them and remember thoughts like you shared on your post!!

I am feeling that way about Ryan. Can't believe that in 5 months he will be leaving home. When I look at him I remember that sweet little boy who has grown up way too fast!

    Project 365

    Am I insane?  Have I lost my mind?  After thinking long and hard about it (OK, really I only thought about it for about 12 hours) I just committed to doing a photo a day for a year - a 365 'they' call it.  This is going to be SUPER HARD for me. Not the photo part, but the editing part. I mean you guys KNOW how far behind I am.  A photo a day - that doesn't sound like much, but in reality, who are we kidding?  Anyway  I'm going to TRY to post each day, but there will be times I might be MIA for a couple of days, just bear with me and I will catch up.

    One of my goals throughout this 365 is to be able to shoot anything I want to in manual. The next is to have fun capturing this next crazy year of our life. In the next 365 you will see: at least 2 more countries, a HS graduation, an international move to most likely 2 different states, the heartbreak of a mom as she sends her first born off to college and so much more....

    Please make sure you cheer me on after all I am a "Words of Affirmation" girl. :o)
