He rarely lets me take his photo. This was after he cooked us a great Sunday breakfast. I am so lucky to have him. He is an amazing husband and father! Taken with my 85 mm on manual.

Since he is allergic to wheat, gluten, dairy and soy...he does not often have cookies. We found these GFCF cookies and he loves them.

A Sunday morning snuggle with "my Daddy." {32/365}

I woke Kate up this morning to adjust for the time change and brought her into bed for a snuggle. When she snuggled up to Dave, I just HAD to run downstairs, grab my camera, open the drapes and get some shots. Kate calls Dave "my Daddy."

I must admit that I am loving this 365 project.  Even though somedays I feel totally uninspired, I realize that I will have a photo diary of our entire year. I plan to have a book made with one photo from everyday of our year.  Some simple yet precious everyday moments like the one above, I would have never captured if it were not for this project.

As an aside, I have read that to re-set your internal clock with the time change, spend at least an hour (two is better) outside in the late afternoon today.  We always take a family walk to a park or something and it really does the trick.  I have done this since Will was an infant and they have always adjusted perfectly.

Man's best friend {15/165}

It is late.  Kids are in bed.  I am tired.  Dave and Scout were playing while I was trying out my new tri-pod.

Camping Out~ Day 4

Our house smelled so bad from the painting that is being done that my boys decided to camp in the backyard last night (with Scout). Kate, Dave and I opted for the comforts of our own beds. The boys lasted all night and really enjoyed it!
