Ethan

Little Big Man is Ethan, he's walking around everywhere now, I think his favorite word was "Hot", I loved when I swoop him up and talk to him in a whisper, he makes little whisper sounds right back to me. This kid loves too eat. He makes this wonderful ahhh sound evertime you show him a piece of food. I see my Papa when I look in his eyes, but I also see myself, from pictures I've seen of myself when I was this age.

Eli

All you have to do is look into his eyes and you see a sweet sweet spirit, Eli is so polite, always saying please and thank you.  I love to see him smile big!

Growing Like a Tree

I take a picture of Autumn in this tree every year, she grows so fast.  She amazes me with the conversation she has with me now.  She's quite the little lady.

Autumn Lost her first tooth

Do you remember that first tooth you lost. Well Autumn lost her first tooth as you can see, I asked her to open wide so I could take a picture. She got a two dollars from the tooth fairy and a note you need a magnifying glass to read. Saying you need to brush more. She now got another tooth that is a bit wiggly. Is the tooth fairy making more money these days because I never got that much for my teeth.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving

I'm back home from Thanksgiving, I've found myself thinking a good bit about how much we learn from adults when we are little. I thought about this a lot while I was with Autumn, Eli and Ethan. The way I am right now with myself and the way I think about myself is the way I learned from reactions of others around me when I was little. I want to build them up, make them feel confident about something in their lives. Make them happy. God is still speaking, He speaks to me many times through them.

JOHN'S MONDAY PHOTO: LANDMARK

Well since I wasn't able to post on Monday, and it's finally working now.  This was taken on a trip to New York on July 4th.  This landmark for me was one of the most outstanding landmarks that was manmade I've ever been too.  I didn't get to go up to the top, it was so hot that day, but I did get to go up at least half way.   She was quite beautiful, and I took quite a few shots, I'll scan the rest of them, and put them in this entry as well.  Our lady liberty!  I'll never forget this day.

Baby Me

Well I didn't take this picture.  I did clean it up a bit, it was in my old baby book, all scratched, and no color to it, so I added some color to it and took most of the scratches out.  I look scared.

 

Round Robin Challenge: Wabi Sabi

When I lived at the beach this was my view when I walked across the street to stare at the beach and the moonlight.  There was a new beauty each night. A wabi sabi beauty.  I used to get home have my dinner go jog, and then just sit for an hour staring at the moon over the ocean or the stars in the sky.  Looking at the picture makes me think of those fleeting moments of happiness.  The shore with it's new footprints in the sand.

Autumn in Summer

Well Summer is gone, but there is still Autumn, she was having such a fun time down at the Jacksonville landing.  I think I told her not to get in the fountain, did she listen?  Nope!

Happy Birthday to my Brother Lance
