Life . Instagram

  Instagram love.

I started using Instragram a couple of months ago ... or what feels like that anyway.  Sometimes I wonder about my sense of time ;).   It is some of my favorite things all rolled into one.  Photography, life, connections.  And most importantly, it makes it so easy to document my daily life.

Here is a  little glimpse of life over the last week.  Hoping to turn this into a series here on the blog.  Sharing my favorites from the week.

LIFE . STORIES

  Them.  February.  2012.

Take photos of your kids.  Lots of them.  Everyday.

Summer 2011. Our Story.

More from our summer story.  Good times and good memories.

Summer 2011. Our Story.

All summer I had very good intentions of blogging our adventures, daily life and stories.  HOWEVER, as you can tell, that didn't happen.  July went by, then August and here we are through one week of September! Having said that, my main hope in doing so was to inspire you all to document your daily life.  Not only the trips and the 'big moments' but life as it happens. Every year seems to go by faster, and with that comes the blurring of memories.  Yes, I would have remembered we went to the Island for vacation.  But these photos take me back.  Back to the small details.  And to me, that is what life is about.

I am thankful I can look at them and remember.... that look of my 10 year old boy, the silliness of my 7 year old, both of them facing their fears at an adventure park, backyard football, boys being goofy, grandmas giving hugs, curiosity at the aquarium, and us.

For me each of these photos bring back conversations, smells and sounds.  Life stories.  And that's all that matters.

5 years from now, what do you want to remember?
