I have a picture of my sister and my daughter that was taken at a family wedding before her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Her smile is so big, her face so happy. Through the really tough times we all needed to see this picture (we do not have many of her)to remind us of the good times. Without pictures it can be easy to forget.

Great giveaways-my fav photo right now is one of my kids holding hands. It was a completley unforced moment that I'm so glad I captured.

My current favorite photo is of my 2-month-old beautiful granddaughter in a pink dress with a huge pink flower on her head. She weighed only 4 pounds 11 oz at birth and is just now 1 oz short of 7 pounds!!

My favorite picture right now is a black & white I took of my 13 yr old son and his dog. The photo is even more special right now, since the dog has been missing for a couple of days and we're not sure if he'll ever come home. We all miss him so much.

My current favorite photo is of two of my boys in a small train tunnel at a local apple ranch. They are both jumping in joyful poses, silhouetted by the light coming in from the other end. It just makes me laugh. Thank you!

My current favorite photograph was taken just last week.... I was playing photographer for my newsletter writing husband at his organizations yearly convention. The women who put on the convention was sitting a few seats down from me next to her husband and her father. I got a darling shot of Cindy in the foreground and the men in her life in the background. The lighting in the hall was a little wonky, but this one picture came out perfectly!!!

trying to catch up on my daughter's book as I feel the urge with baby #3 coming soon. So my current favorite picture right now is her at the beach last October. It is a cloudy overcast day so lots of grays and blues in the background and she is wearing a pink dress, white hoodie, and those baby legs in pink and white stripes. I had just started practicing with manual mode so the background is all bleary, but she is perfect! I remember it as such a leisurely fun day for me and my two littles right then!

My current favourite is of my son and his brand new wife as the minister announced them as Mr and Mrs Hopper and they are holding up their arms cheering - like boxers do at the end of a fight!

My favorite photo right now is actually a collection of photos from my 6 year old sons first machine pitch baseball game last evening. I captured him nervously batting, dancing in the outfield, and even got a blurry photo of him running off the field delighted that his team won. Can't wait to scrap these.

One of my favorite photos is of my now 16-year old son when he was just about 18 months old. He's making this cute pouty, fishy face that he did for several months and it's just adorable.

My current favorite photo is one of my daughter from several months ago. My mother took it with her crappy digital camera but it so captures my daughter's spirit and spunk. I have it as my desktop image on my computer.
And oh my goodness I've been lusting over these *emera bags for some time now and we simply can't afford one right now. Hoping to be able to budget for one in the future.
