the little things

I made a promise to myself and my family that one of my main goals in 2010 was to capture my boys
lives like never before.  Not just when it was necessary {birthdays, holidays, special events} but in the
middle of the week when it was for no other reason but, "just because".  Today was one of those days.

Last week was a big week for us as you can read about here and here.  So, this week should be a bit more
relaxed, RIGHT??  Well, not so much.  See....we have the boys birthday party this weekend.  And,
although I don't go over the top there is SO much that has to be done.  {i.e. cake, their shirts {yes, if
you didn't already know...I sew} and making sure I am aware of who all is coming.  On top of all that
I am still a mom, a wife, a photographer, a designer and a homemaker.....I could keep GOING.

So, I took 15 minutes today to let the boys be silly in the bathroom sink.  Making silly faces.  They had
a ball.  And, although these images will win no prize in the technical world or whatever of photography
they win TOP prize in my heart.
