My favorite photo right now is one of my 3 sons. We were out on the bow of my inlaws very large boat enjoying the sun and sights. The 4 of us were deep in discussion about something quite funny. The photo is of the 3 of them giggling profusely with closed eyes, opoen mouths and their heads all cocked a differnt way. The photo captured teh spirit of my family!

y favorite at the moment is of my big white fur ball dog, lying on her back with her legs stuck straight up in the air, looking at me with what I am sure is big grin on her face, makes me smile when I look at the photos. I have just signed up for Shimelles class & cant wait to start it today!

My current fave is of my 4-1/2 y.o. "dusting" the stairs. He actually had fun doing a chore but I think it's because he got to use the spray bottle.

A picture each of my daughter's smiling. It's a picture I compiled from a single photo of each of them. Since one is heaven it is not a photo I could ever have in real time.

A picture of my 20 month old son all decked out in his sister's headband, flowered sunglasses and her purse over his chubby little arm. He LOVES to wear her pretty things right now....it is hilarious and cute and I know it will be fleeting. The photo is my favorite because it reminds me to notice the phases, capture the moments, and celebrate every little part of life. It changes oh so fast!

We had a family photo taken when we were living overseas several years ago. I loved it then and I still love it today. Great memories of such a happy time for us...and we all looked good, the location was gorgeous and the light was perfect.

Oooooohhhhhh! What a very fun giveaway! Thanks Ali! I would say my favorite picture right now is of my first ultrasound done a few months ago. My little guy was small enough at the time, that we have a full side view of him all snuggled and cozy in the womb. His little profile is adorable and we have this pic framed so we can look at him everyday!

My favorite photo is one of my mother and I from the Orange Bowl Parade about 25 years ago. I have converted it to sepia, and cropped it just a bit, so you can focus on the profiles of me (sucking my thumb, of course) and my mom watching the parade go by.

My favourite photo at the moment is one of my little girl and little boy sitting on a chair together, laughing so hard. Nothing particularly funny was going on just the fact that they were together. Love it...
