I typically do not slow down enough to write or read for pleasure on a regular basis but one thing I do is capture life's moments through the lens of a camera. This isn't something I claim to be good at. In fact, photographer doesn't even come to mind when I think of who I am. What does come to mind is I'm the one with the camera journeying through life as a wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend.

5.3.12 - Watching the Wheels Crank

I'm so blessed to have Friday's home with my kids and these
pictures capture something small that brought so much joy.
  I loved watching his brain crank as he worked through matching
colors, rotating puzzle pieces, moving from one section that
isn't coming together then returning to it later celebrating
a connection.  It was so natural for him...he definitely
didn't get his patience from me.  #simplepleasures
