I decided for 2012 I wanted to make sure to continue to capture the family.  I did a picture a day for most of 2011, but got sidetracked towards the end of the year–difficult to remember to always take a picture!  So this year I have entered a few weekly picture contests.

The first over at My 4 Hens Photography she is an amazing and inspiring photographer.  These weeks theme was LIFE!

And since my life resolves around my children, I felt this was the theme for the photo.

But more importantly, I tried to capture the wonder and amazement of childhood.  I love how a child can look at something in AWE!

The second image was for Photographer’s Connection a photography forum on facebook.  The theme of week 2:  CLOUDS

This was a little tougher being that it is Illinois in the winter, but I did catch a glimpse of sun and clouds–prior to our snow!
