Tuesday's Perfect Moment

The other day we headed out to the park for some pictures of J and Daddy together. For several pictures, I wanted to get down on J's level to get a good picture, but everytime I got down on the ground, J took off running to me to get himself a good seat on my lap!! A lady picnicing nearby, though this was hilarious!! I made sevreal attempts to capture what I wanted before he would take off running, so of course I was laughing as I went through the series of pictures today while editing. Here's one that I found in that series...



Completely out of focus. Lighting is awful. In a normal workload, I would just delete this picture b/c it is all wrong. But I love it. I love the joy on J's face and the happiness of Daddy's face and he watches on from the background. The fact that he's in his military uniform adds to the emotion in this capture, IMO. So why not put the photography rules aside and love this as a snapshot of my boys? It may not be the perfect picture, but it is most certainly the perfect moment!

Here are a few more from our "session"







And since I hardly ever post pictures of J and I, here's one for ya! Daddy took it and it's completely in focus! I'm so proud :D

Perfect Moment Monday

Perfect Moments.

My blogger friend, Lori, is encouraging bloggers to post about perfect moments that we notice around us. Today, my perfect moment was when I woke up and saw the news that New Orleans may have escaped the worst of the wrath of Hurricane Gustav. A hurricane that meteorologists expected to grow to a category 5 and hit New Orleans and leave it devestated, took a path to the west of New Orleans and made landfall at a category 2. God is in control! There is still the risk of flooding and tornadoes as Gustav passes through the state, but it seems as if New Orleans did survive this one. I want to thank my other good friend, Michelle, for the prayers. They certainly were felt! Let's continue to pray for the people on the coast and also pray for those in tha path of Hanna, which is officially a hurricane as of this morning.
