Capture Ordinary Days

Feb 28, 2013 | 5 comments

My baby will only be a baby for one more week. He turns one next Thursday.

I can’t stand it. Time moves too fast and I will never, ever get these days back. Cliches, but oh so true.

But I can take pictures. I can pull out the camera at times other than birthdays and milestones and programs and just capture ordinary days. Because the ordinary days are probably what I will want to remember the most some day.

Ordinary days like this one…

I will forever remember this {pre-haircut} day as a day we laughed, discovered our heads, wrestled, played ball, and enjoyed another ordinary day.

What do you want to remember about your ordinary days?

Oh, and my child hanging upside down in the last picture reminded me…

Don’t forget to join Amanda and myself as we start the Upside Down Prayers for Parents book club on Facebook tomorrow! If you haven’t bought your book yet, get the ebook and you won’t have to wait for it to arrive at your house!

    Those chubby bubby legs are just perfect.

    I know how you feel! My youngest is turning 20 months tomorrow. Sadly all the years go fast 🙁 I love how you captured the energy your children have! We have such poor lighting in the winter I feel like there is a huge gap in photos during the winter but I still try to capture every day moments as much as I can. Thursdays I share them on my blog in my AlphaBitty Moment posts. – today was all about snack time at the grocery store….

      The winter months ARE hard for pictures! I have to stop worrying about “perfect” and just capture “real!” Love that you are sharing your pics as well!
