I hesitated this month when it came to documenting another 10 on 10. What could I possibly do different than last time? How could I prevent it from being redundant each month? Isn't it a little soon to be asking these questions since this is only month 2? Well, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to see that life has its own things in store, & the day I documented ended up being wonderful. This month was another lesson in seeing the beauty of everyday life. I was able to capture the sweet personalities of my two children, as well as my husband & wonderful friends. I'm grateful for these preserved memories that this project gives me.
8:00 am - Ruby Jane is sleeping soundly.
9:00 am - retrieving some cereal that dropped on the barstool.
10:00 am - Will gets so excited when his daddy comes home. he can't wait to tell him all the fun things he's been up to.
11:00 am - Ruby finishes her shower & kicks her feet & talks to us while waiting in the bassinet.
12:00 pm - getting ready to drive down to the bay area when Scott notices we have a flat tire. Will did his part to help.
1:00 pm - on the road. sunglasses on & baishie in hand (Will's lion blanket that he takes everywhere).
it didn't take long before this guy was out. he seriously has the most beautiful eyelashes & has since day one. i just can't get over them.
2:00 pm - Ruby meets my other mother & sister for the first time. we've been life-long friends, & they're practically family.
3:00 pm - love this girly.
Ruby bonds with her godmother & my best friend, Caitlin.
4:00 pm - i loved capturing the look on my husband's face while he smiled at our sweet daughter. it's these tender, natural moments that i treasure.
5:00 pm - buckled up & ready to head back home.
to continue the blog circle, head on over to Julie Ander's 10 on 10.
Wow. These are such tenderhearted moments. These are such precious images of your babies. I love the bar stool shot - the diaper, skinny mini body (my boys are like that!) and rumpled hair. I think Ruby and River have the same type thin blankies;) I love your shoes too! the capture of your husband and daughter is wonderful. It will be a treasure to her when she is grown!

ReplyDeleteLiz, These are just beautiful. I simply love the one of your son on the stool. This photo gives us a real up close and personal view of that moment. And the close up of him working on the car! It just made my heart try to leap out of my chest! So perfect! All of these are just so touching and personal - wonderful work!
