I shot this picture today at baseball practice when my son and his best friend were hanging out in the dugout drinking some water. Definitely a "Kodak" moment! :)
Bet you can't look at these happy kiddos on the trampoline and not SMILE! (Click on the pic to see it closer.) Try it! :-) They had quite a blast jumping around like lunatics this afternoon! They were laughing hysterically, being very goofy, and having the best time. The highlight? When a deer walked UNDER us on the trampoline while we were jumping to cross to the other side!!! Good thing she didn't get knocked unconscious!
I had a great photoshoot at the beach tonight and snuck this picture in... What a beautiful night!
My son played Catcher for part of the baseball game today. I got a close-up of that sweet little face hiding in that helmet right before he went out to the field. He's growing up so fast...but in my heart, he'll still always be my baby. ;-)
Ah, the beauty and simplicity of childhood....no timetables, no worries or responsibilities, no stress... I remember lounging around on the floor watching Sesame Street when I was little too. My mom would bring me snacks and drinks, and I'd watch my show on the floor or upside down on my head on the couch... ha ha! Life was so easy and fun. :) We had our priorities straight. Sometimes, I really wish I could be a child again... Why does life make grown ups change?
Tonight, our son's team, the Cubs, played its first night game against the Marlins. Cubs won 14-4! Here is our little Cub getting ready to go up to plate. He hit a great one - pretty far into left field! We were so proud of him!
Today I spent a good half hour blowing bubbles with my son on the porch. Up until now, he's never been able to control his breath and little mouth enough to blow bubbles on his own. He desperately wanted to learn how to "do it myself" so I had him practice and practice and practice. He had so much fun and when he finally figured out how to do it, he was thrilled! Look at that happy face! He was unstoppable! I absolutely love seeing life through the eyes of a child. Why can't we bottle up childhood innocence for our whole lives?
