Photo Challenge Day 25 ~ Home


I know it's cheesy, but Tom is my home. No matter where we are living, what we are doing, or where we are going, so long as he is with me, I'm home.

Photo Challenge Day 24 ~ Artwork

Pic to come, will take tomorrow. Jonathan coloured his first ever picture for Daddy's birthday. He was beside himself with pride!

Photo Challenge Day 23 ~ Animal


Sam, my sweetheart, and Sonia, the sidekick I gave him for company when I became too busy to be home as much as he needed me to be (translation: started dating Tom).

Photo Challenge Day 22 ~ Something Old


A well experienced cheese farmer in Costa Rica.
I can't help but love the lighting on this shot.

A new, unbreakable, father-son bond.

Photo Challenge Day 19 ~ Something I Drew



A gasp of air.







No, I'm not pregnant. This was our first realization of Jonathan.

Buying, selling, trading, reviewing and, well, using cloth diapers.

Is anyone surprised?

Photo Challenge Day 18 - Written Words



Beautiful written words of encouragement and advice from those we love the most. Yes, these are our wedding cards. And I've kept them aaaaaaaaall of them for nearly 5 years! Every so often (usually in the middle of a move) I find them, and sit and leaf through them - loving the care that went into them and the wonderful advice they provide. I'm usually not one to hang on to things for sentimental value, but I don't see these being recycled any time soon.

Photo Challenge Day 17 ~ Trees


Beautiful Costa Rican trees. *Sigh*

And see that thin line running from the bottom right to top left (ish)? That was out first of many cables on a zip lining tour. *Big Sigh*

I love Costa Rica.

Photo Challenge Day 16 ~ Self Portrait



How would a self-portrait be complete without my awesome sidekick?! This also serves as an update to the Pea in a Pod taken last July. My how time flies.

And, umm, it's kind of tricky taking a photo of yourself with a baby on the hip. Please excuse the poor composition and focal points!

Photo Challenge Day 15 - My weakness



Okay, okay. This one isn't my photo - but it is my weakness and I don't have any around for a shot (surprise, surprise?)

Tomorrow: Self portrait

Photo Challenge Day 13 - Water



I know. I actually missed posting this on one time. lol

This photo is of an HCJB fresh water project we had the honor of visiting while serving in Ecuador two summers ago. This day - with all it's joy, hard work, and come-tegoetherness-to-make-a-difference-in-the-community - had such a powerful effect on me that no words can describe. This photo is of the members of the community, working together, to hand dig a trench for he new water pipeline.

Photo Challenge Day 12 ~ Where I ate breakfast


Okay, so this wasn't from this morning's breakfast (obviously) because I forgot. But I ate breakfast here none the less!

Photo Challenge Day 9 ~ Hands



The night of our engagement - March 2, 2007 :)

Photo Challenge Day 8 ~ Books


We read a lot of (children's) books in this house. But not one of them compares to the amazing busy book Jonathan received for his 1st birthday from his grandmother. It's a very special book, for a very special boy, received on his special day. Love it.

Tomorrow? Hands

Photo Challenge Day 1 ~ Maple leaf



please remind me

The photo challenge starts tomorrow (well, technically today, but I have to go to bed before I can actually call it tomorrow. But then I'll call it today. But whatever, you know what I mean).

If you don't see a pic on here by the end of the day PLEASE TEXT OR EMAIL me to remind me.

That would be swell..... No, I didn't plan ahead at all.
