My favourite photo is a close up of my son just before Christmas. It was extremely hot and he was having a water fight under the pop-up sprinklers with his Dad. The expression on his face is priceless.

Tough question. I think my favorite photo is this random one of my husband and I on some steps in DC when I was a freshman in college and he was in high school. Early love. Long time ago but fun to look back and see us then.

My current favorite photo is one of my Dad. I took some shots of him in his chair watching tv. He is sick and home with hospice care and my siblings and I have tried hard to surround him with the things he loves. Since he is only able to watch tv and not move arond much, he now has a HUGE flat screen. I took the shot from behind and slightly above him so you see his white socked feet and the back of his chair facing that tv. The shot also caught his "stash" of snacks we sneak in so my Mom won't see and the stack of tv remotes that he refused to give up. I just love this shot of him in his habitat......

I'm in that place right now where I have HUNDREDS of pictures I need to upload to have printed. It is crazy overwhelming. So I decided the other day to work on some older photos instead. I came across a team picture of my oldest son's first baseball team. Most of the boys from that team are still close friends. They were so young and tiny (they were 7 in the picture, 12 now). It is so precious. I printed an extra copy to frame for my scrapbooking desk. Thanks for the wonderful giveaways Ali!

My current fav photo was taken last weekend. My six year old son is sitting on his GT Snowracer on top of a HUGE pile of snow...ready to head straight down as fast as he can go. The excitement on his face is the best...as well as the fact that he's wearing his black dress shoes (we had stopped in at his grandparents spur of the moment and that's what he was wearing.) It makes me smile and laugh at the same time!

My current favorite photo is my mom and I at the Heart Walk. We were laughing like crazy, I zoomed a little too much, turned the camera towards us and snapped. She has the most wonderful, happy look on her face and I have half a head! I love it because it was typical mom and I.

I recently came upon a photo of me when I was around 10 yrs old. I used to have a short 30 minute radio show on our local station. The pic is of me at the microphone spinning records. Such a priceless memory.

My current favorite photo.....well it's hard to pick favorites when I have five beautiful kiddos. But at this exact moment it's of my youngest monkeyboy with the biggest, orange sucker he's ever seen.

My favorite photo is a candid moment of another fellow hiker when I hiked up a waterfall in Yosemite at the top. Everything was just perfect about the photo. :)
