A Month in Photos: March 2012

Some of my favorite photos from March:

Sophie wants her cat treat right now.

Jon celebrated a birthday this month.

My favorite snack: chocolate-covered espresso beans.

And I had a great time with Fat Mum Slim's Photo-a-Day Challenge for March!

Learning to Ride

Elliott loves his scooter.  He zooms all over the place on that thing.  Last weekend he decided it was time he learned to ride a bike.  And Jon proudly stepped up to the task.

He taught Emma and Ethan to ride.  Now our littlest was ready.

I love this photo.

To me it's not just a picture of Jon teaching Elliott how to ride a bike.

With the long stretch of sidewalk ahead, it captures for me the idea of

a father guiding and supporting his son - preparing him for what's ahead.

The World Will Be Watching

Well........at least my son, daughter and I will be!

TONIGHT!

At The Hunger Games Pre-Screening!!

As soon as the movie date was released my daughter began her campaign to persuade me to take her to the midnight showing of The Hunger Games.

Yeah, right.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't make it to (or through) a midnight showing of anything these days.  When I was 12 - absolutely!  Now?  Out of the question.

Thanks to some friends of ours, I was able to get tickets to the pre-screening!  To see the movie before midnight!  At a reasonable hour actually.  Now I'm the hero, and we'll be among the first to see this highly-anticipated film.

The main character in The Hunger Games is Katniss Everdeen.  Here are some photos of my daughter as Katniss this past Halloween:

Today's photo challenge prompt is "kitchen sink" which has absolutely nothing to do with The Hunger Games.  I'll share that photo tomorrow when I write about our kitchen remodel.

Until then, have a fantastic day, and 

"May the odds be ever in your favor."

(That's a quote from the book and movie!  If you haven't read the book yet - DO SO!

And read it before you see the movie.  Movies are never as good as the book.)

A Little Corner of Home

"Having someone to love is family.
Having somewhere to go is home.
Having both is a blessing."


This is one of my favorite little corners of the house
(today's photo challenge prompt is "a corner of your home.")
This corner reminds me of the wonderful blessings God has given me
and for which I am so very grateful.
