This week’s theme is White. I had something entirely different planned for this week’s photo, but during our picnic lunch today I was sitting and looking at my baby girl’s new bob haircut and ruffled white shirt and decided that I had my shot right there!

The Project 52 that I’m participating in is run by Sarah Cornish of My Four Hens Photography. Every week, she posts a new theme for us to use in taking our photos. We take our photos using her theme, then add them to the Flickr group for the Project 52. From those photos, Sarah chooses a winner and her favorites. I’m so, so excited that this week Sarah named my Week 16 photo as one of her favorites of the week!! You can read the blog post with the Week 16 winner and favorites here. I’m thrilled!
This week’s theme is Perspective. Although I've struggled with every theme so far, as soon as I saw this theme I knew what my photo would be. . . .
My big kids (triplets) were born at 30 weeks. Although they were all small, Rosemary was by far the smallest at 1 pound 14 ounces. When she was 3 weeks old, we slid my husband's wedding band onto her wrist and took a few pictures, just to give some perspective as to how small she really was.
Rosemary is now almost 4. This past Tuesday morning I gave her a copy of the photo of her at 3 weeks old and my husband's wedding band, and took some photos of her. This has been such an unbelievably emotional process for me. I was barely able to decide which photo to use, but in the end decided on this one.

This week’s theme is Movement. I had some grand ideas of trying out panning for the first time this weekend, but when I saw Penelope pulling over a chair to try to catch a glimpse of her daddy outside mowing the yard, I knew I had my movement photo for the week. These little feet may be sort of still right now, but they are almost always moving!!

Last week’s theme was Home. I took piano lessons for over 10 years when I was younger. A few years ago, my mom and dad renovated their house and cleaned out a lot of things. Part of that cleaning out involved moving my piano out of their house and down to my house. It’s hard to describe it, but I remember sitting in my living room, looking at my piano, and feeling like my house was finally home once my piano was there. To me, my piano represents home.

Whew! Now I’m finally caught up on the weeks I was behind on. Now if I can only stay on track this week. . . .
I’m a little behind on my Project 52 photos, but I think I’ll be caught up by the end of this weekend!! I hope. . . .
Anyway, the theme for the week before last was Nature. To me, nothing says nature quite like a boy and his bug jar. . . .
