My favorite photo is one I took while on a family camping trip. My daughter is holding her little brother's hand and leading him down the path. I love remembering them in those moments--especially on days when they're fighting.

My favorite photo right now is one taken during Christmas break of my son and daughter together; as they are older now it is special to have them together like this.

My current favorite pics are from my twins 4th b-day party last week! One of the moms is a photographer (I didn't know!) and asked if she could take my camera and take photos. This was the nicest thing someone could do for me, it allowed me free to participate in the moment without feeling like I was missing out in capturing the moment!

FAVORITE? oh, that's tough. Maybe the picture I took of my 19 year old cat before he was put to sleep ? That's kind of sad isn't it?

My current favorite photo is one of my two year old granddaughter after her first hair cut. I wasn't sure I'd like her hair shorter, but it really brings out her eyes. I'm expecting to have a new favorite photo by tomorrow as our grandson is turning 6 and having his party today. They grow up so quickly, my favorite photos seem to change constantly!

My current fave photo I took last night with my cell phone. It is just a photo of the evening sky as it prepares for a storm.

Just last weekend I was visiting a working historical farm, and they have sap buckets on the trees. One was overflowing, so I tilted my camera, waited patiently, and caught a drop of sap falling off the bottom of the bucket with the sun just glaring off it. Such a great reminder that spring is on the way!

My current fave photo: My hubs is holding our 8-month old granddaughter while playing with our other granddaughter (5 y/o) on his laptop. Usually the baby just stares at me when I am snapping photos. But this time, even though the other two are completely engrossed in the computer, the baby spied me and flashed me the MOST beautiful smile. I'm so in love with this photo right now! :)

My favorite photo is one that our friend, who is a photographer, took a month or so ago on a photo shoot. She took us around the downtown of our small city for urban backgrounds-- and it was FREEZING cold. But it was so much fun, and in this one particular photo, she captured my husband and I so perfectly.

It's difficult to choose one photo. I'd have to say one of my wedding when we are front of the church.

My favorite photo is one of my daughter when she was a little over a year. It was fall and the sun was shining just right through her wisps of baby hair.

My favorite pic right now is one of all my girls (ages 4, 2, and 3 months). The older two have their arms around each other and are kissing their baby sister. Love that their hair is all messy too. A slice from the day to keep forever.

My favorite photo right now is an old one of my mom. She is skiing and has this smirk on her face like "get that camera out of here!" I just love it because it is very much how I am as well :) Thanks for the giveaway!!!
