My current favorite photo is of my 6 month old taking his first bite of pureed peas. It captures the sparkle in his big brown eyes that people always comment on and the expression of uncertainty about his first taste of peas!

My current favorite photo is a photo of five pears on my counter. I was unpacking the produce from our weekly shopping trip when I discovered we have five pears, four peaches and three lemons. I was unpacking after my kids were asleep and I kept thinking how great it was that we have five, four and three of fruit. It'll be so much fun to count! My youngest son is four and very into counting things so I set the fruit up on the counter and took photos. The pears look soooo good!
Great giveaways, Ali!! Thanks for the chance to win!!

I am currently scrapbooking pictures from Christmas and my favorite picture is one with my two children and me sitting in a chair and being quite silly Christmas morning. Not a great picture technically but we too infrequently capture the silly moments like this.

My current favourite is a picture of my daughter taken by the incredibly talented Kirsty Wiseman which I have downloaded onto my Blackberry as my wallpaper. It's a picture of my daughter sitting in a pile of autumn leaves in a teal blue t shirt and I LOVE IT!! It captures her spirit, it makes me smile and the colour combination is dynamite. Thanks for the awesome giveaway Ali.

I have a picture of my two year old daughter hugging a tree, it is slightly over exposed but the sun is shinning just enough to light up her beautiful face. Her hair is glowing, her face looks to innocent. When I look at it I gasp she is growing up, so quick! I need to take more pictures to relive each memory of her.

Right now I have a great photo of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic cauldron taken 1 day after the opening ceremony against a stormy backdrop. It reminds me of the great time I had participating as a volunteer in my home city.
