I Heart Faces: Purple

This week over at I Heart Faces the theme is Purple. I couldn't resist using this photo of a beautiful sunset.

I Heart Faces-- Pets

I take photos of my pets all the time. However, I really love a picture I took recently when visiting my in-laws. They live in the middle of nowhere and have barn cats. We have seen several different generations of kittens grow into cats. This is one of the kittens all grown up now and she has a litter of her own.

My in-laws have never bothered to name their barn cats, but my husband and I definitely believe she is an "Ophelia."

I ♥ Faces: Hilarious Outtakes

This week over at I ♥ Faces the the photo challenge theme is "Hilarious Outtakes." So, here we go...

This photo is vintage of me and our dog Gizzy. He saw opportunity and seized it!




I tried to take a cute photo of our little guy. It is very cute, but if you look closely there is a perfectly detailed slobber line connecting from him to the bed.


The next picture speaks for my son's frustration with a day full of photography.


Last and most hilarious is definitely this photo of my husband and son. Husband decides to be funny, but our son is far from amused.

I ♥ Faces: Texture

This week's theme is Texture. My texture this week can be found behind my son. It is a blanket lovingly crocheted by his great grandmother before her hands no longer let her do what she loved. The blanket's texture is a symbol of the intertwined love of our family and how that love can exist long before the next generation does.

My grandmother's love for our family is a texture in itself because she is part of the thread that holds us all together. She adopted my mother and uncle after their biological mother died. She lost her husband shortly after. The orphanage offered to take the kids back due to her financial situation. But she kept them and did everything to scrape by and give them everything they never had. We all are eternally grateful for her generosity.

Happy Birthday, I ♥ Faces !

This week at I ♥ Faces the theme is "Best Face Photo."

I chose one of my new favorites. I took this photo on January 6, 2010. I love to take photos of my son. I usually catch him when he is smiling or having fun. I actually caught him at one of his tired moments and it is absolutely beautiful.

I ♥ Faces Week 45 Challenge: "Autumn Beauty"

I am starting my first week of entering into I ♥ Faces photo challenge. This week's challenge is "Autumn Beauty."

I had posted this photo before, but have made a few improvements. I love fall and all of the things that go with it, but nothing has made me love it more than my son. I caught this photo when he was staring at one of the trees in our yard. I love how he just seems so fascinated.

We have discovered... feet!

P.S. A big thanks to Amy for the beautiful blanket! Little man loves it!
