I'm afraid that time constraints. a weekend trip to Charlotte North Carolina to celebrate St Patrick's Day left me no other choice but to dip into my files for all of my photo's this week with the exception of vintage.vintage
This crystal candle holder was something we found in a bunch of junk in a basement in a rental my husband lived in once years ago. The landlord told him he could have it and what a treasure it has turned out to be. It's beautiful isn't it?

This is my first born, his name is Matthew. When I was pregnant I used go down to the beach and lay on my stomach {digging holes in the sand was the only way, I was rather large, you see} He's always been a sun and beach lover since before he was born!

photographer's choice
I have loved this picture ever since I took it and I knew instantly this would be my photographers choice. This is my niece playing in the water on the very beach I grew up on.

We planted this oak tree years ago when we purchased our house, each of our boys got their own tree to plant. This tree is our son Eric's tree and is particularly meaningful to us since he passed away in 2006, dying in an accident with his older sister Gretchen.

Thanks Ashley for hosting this link up every week, and thanks to everyone for stopping by to check out my set of photo's.
I enjoyed seeing your set this week.. They look great.. Especially photographers choice..
ReplyDeleteGreat set! Love that choice!!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh, that last picture is too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pics. The last one made me giggle because when our girls were little we used to do that. Hubby on bottom, then me and then the girls piled up. We called it "firewood" because it was like a stack of logs. Hubby would yell FIREWOOD and everyone would come running amd pile on! Good memories... Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable Peg, firewood...what fun and great memories regardless of what we call it!
DeleteLove the sandwich and your niece on the beach. What a great vintage find. Making room in the sand is the only way to lay sometimes. Always enjoy your pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove your pics. It's hard to believe anyone considered that candle holder "junk"!

DeleteYour photography is spectacular, friend. And I love the happy smiles on that smooshed up kid sandwich!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous pictures and fit the themes so well.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the shot of your neice. Priceless.
I don't know what my favorite part of that picture is her hair bouncing or the bottom of her feet! Cute, and it was taken with a really crappy camera, go figure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vintage piece
ReplyDeleteIt is Valeria, and I use it all the time too!
DeleteWhat a beautiful thing to do for your kids and have them pick/plant a tree. I'm gunna steal that. :)
ReplyDeleteThe kids really enjoyed picking and planting their own tree, not to mention watching it grow- measuring it's growth progress it can be an educational experience as well as what it's turned out to be for us... a "kind of" memory tree.
DeleteI always love seeing your photographs. What I especially enjoyed about this week's scavenger hunt, though, was the personal story that is behind each picture.
ReplyDeleteYour family is beautiful, btw!
You know, you posted this on Sunday when I'm not blogging. Are you trying to hide all this cuteness from me?
ReplyDeleteLove all these pictures for various reasons.
