I Heart Faces: Anything but a Face.

This week's i heart faces photo challenge is a photo that does not need a face clearly showing.

I knew exactly what photo I wanted to use. 

I had taken this photo of Ethan while we were in the backyard. 

He was in a wonderful mood, acting very silly and hamming it up for the camera (something he's not doing too much of these days).

He was so intent on finding a bug, any bug, that afternoon and he was searching through the grass when I took this. 

I love the way the light gives so much color to his fantastic head of hair. Something I am quite jealous about I might add.

Storytelling.

Ethan's imagination is growing by the day. 

Here's the proof.

Apparently I should remember that we went on a spaceship and he couldn't reach me.

Up Close: Jacob.

I could just eat him up.

Worms.

A good portion of our morning was spent digging for worms. 

I'm not a fan. 

I don't consider myself a girlie girl but I don't like worms.

Ethan on the other hand has a new found love for them. 

And bugs, and spiders, and mud, and dinosaurs.

Boy stuff.

 But I'll keep my disgust for worms to myself and dig in our backyard, since it makes my boy so very happy.

I Heart Faces: Phone Photo Challenge

Every week a site I like, i heart faces, has a photo challenge that is open for submissions. The judges pick 10 of their favorite photos.

I've never entered a photo before, but I'm taking a chance this week. 

This weeks submissions are for photos taken with a cell phone. 

It's amazing how great some of the photos we take our cell phones turn out, don't you think?

I know you've seen this photo but it's the best photo I've taken with my phone lately. 

Actually it's one of the best photos I've taken period. 

 I love that it's black and white, grainy, and looks like a Polaroid.

And I love that it's of my handsome little man. 

Wish me luck.

Dreaming.

I'm dreaming of going back to Tahiti.

Sitting on the porch of my own little private hut, watching the sun rise and sipping Tahitian coffee. 

Someday...we will go back someday.

My Sweet Boy.

Sometimes he seems so big to me, but then a picture like this reminds me that he's still my sweet baby boy.
