I came in while Baby was napping and found her little feet crossed . . .

A Discovery

In my second year of homeschooling, I've discovered something. I don't blog well during the school year. By the end of my work day (usually 9:00pm), I just don't want to do another thing that feels like work! And that's okay, because I'm not a blogger. Maybe someday I'll be a blogger, but for now, I've got other roles that take first place.


That said, I am hoping to post a little more. I finally got a new, really good camera, and my BFFF (That's best friend from forever, we met when we were six.) introduced me to a fun photo challenge to get me using my camera. So I'm going to try to use the prompts and do a photo a week. If it ends up being something I'm comfortable sharing in public, I'll put it up here.


So here is the one for this week. Can you guess the theme?

 

Yep, self-portrait. That was an easy one! And here's how I did it.

Someday I'll figure out my self timer setting. Or something.

Now in Bloom

Garden zinnias, wild vines, and our own pretty Posy.

I know this isn't my kids blog, but I couldn't share Asher's story and then not put up any pictures of Posy. Besides, with pictures like this, who could resist? I mean, really!

It's been an interesting pregnancy, with an odd mix of emotions: still missing our little boy so much, but so excited about our little girl.

One thing that I didn't expect however was a total absence of fear. Fear an anxiety are such strong temptations for Mommies, and I'm as likely to give in as anyone else. But Kyle and I really haven't had any concerns about Posy, which I know is simply a gift from God! I am thankful.

So now she is here. She's such a good, sweet little baby, so alert and attuned to those around her! We are all smitten, and I am treasuring and enjoying every moment. 

Yes, even the fussy ones.

 P.S. There won't be anything up here on the blog for a couple weeks. After I'm back on my feet, I'm hoping to have some nursery pictures to post!
