Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind Many of these images are from April, but I couldn't help but include them because I definitely want them in my 366 project. Though they may seem unimportant, I remember each moment vividly and they have special places in my heart. The little things make up the greatness in my life. 149.366 I remember this April day well. I promised you we'd play in the puddles. The sun was golden and the puddles were ripe for jumping. And then it rained and rained and you were so disappointed. So Daddy opened the window and you watched the rain together at the window, and suddenly you weren't sad anymore. Daddy can make anything better. 153.366 While I was attending to Baby, you came up to me and I noticed chocolate smeared across your face. I was puzzled where you had gotten chocolate. And then I went to the family room, where there Cocoa Pebbles on the couch and floor. Lots and lots of Cocoa Pebbles. You had dumped the entire box and just ate it off the couch. So here you are cleaning up your mess and sometimes enjoying a bite of the contents. 154.366 The afternoon when we just relaxed together in a corner of the family room. You read "Ten Tiny Toes" to Baby as she listened intently and then practiced your monkey shines when the book said "Open wide." Your Great Grandpa taught me how to make monkey shines when I was a little girl, although he had only his right arm, so we would laugh together when he would do a one-handed monkey shine. It's hard to believe how long ago that was when Mommy made monkey shines. And no doubt you will teach Little Baby how to do monkey shines in a few short years. Right now she's too interested in the light coming in the window.

Best friends are like stars on a cloudy night, you may not see them but they are always there, through thick or thin their friendship will always shine bright. -John Gabriel Cousin to cousin we'll always be, Special friends from the same family tree. Author: Unknown Awake, thou wintry earth - Fling off thy sadness! Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth Your ancient gladness! ~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn" The weather continues to persist in a constant and unexpected cycle of winter and spring, and even on the most sunshine-filled of days, we are sometimes surprised by a sharp chill when we open the door. Nevertheless, we take advantage of the warm days and push through the winter ones. 127.366 We bought a bubble blower, which you normally just ignore completely, but you do like to sit at the bubble blower and pop the bubbles as they rise out. The weather started to become a little warm, so before they planted the field, we would bundle up and venture out in the chill through the cornfield, collecting sprigs of tall grass, Black Cat and Foo Foo trailing behind us. |
