Week 9. Patterns

What better pattern than bathroom tile?  The feather is from the couch.

Week 8. Silhouette.

I have always wanted to try a silhouette so I was happy that was this weeks theme.  Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to master the skill so I will have to continue trying.  I did get Pierce to stand in front of the window so I could practice.  He is being his normal spunky self and posing for me...the hands in the air was his idea entirely and I absolutely loved it.  My muse.

Week 7. Red.

This weeks theme was red, for Valentine's Day.  Unfortunately I didn't snap any shots of Pierce making his Valentine's day cards for school because it was enough of a battle just to get him to make them.  Who knew writing Valentine's cards would be such a challenge?  Can't wait for homework!  Sigh!  But, I managed a skill I have yet to master, patience, and he finished all of them.  I was so proud of us!  This is actually the weekend after Valentine's day.  Pierce is making thank you cards for his friends from school that came to his birthday celebration.  Lucky for me there were only 3!!  I chose this photo for "red" because I was thinking of his red lips...

Week 6. Time.

Went to my Mom's for breakfast this week.  What better depiction of time than children waiting to be "gotten" by their poppa and Dad/uncle??!!

Week 5. Morning.

Morning.  Mommy's coffee cup.  Kai's favorite thing in the morning is to point to the sheep and say "Baa".  Learning all his animal sounds now, one of my favorite things!  He also loves to point to my cup and say "hot"...so precocious (or more likely just a biased Mom!).

Week 4. Reflection.

Reflection.  A loose use of the word here.  Pierce is a reflection of me and as it was his 5th birthday it seemed more than appropriate to post a picture of him gazing at his cake.  

Week 3. Self portrait.

I wanted to try an actual self-portrait for the week...so here it is.  Looking out the window...and onto what happens next...
