Tuesday Treasures

I'm going to see if I can keep up the alliterative titles all week. :)

More pics from Lisa...

~ I love this picture of the two boys!...I could use the word "love" for all of these pictures though...hmm, how to express my feelings?
~ I can't figure out whether I like this picture of David in color or black & white better...red IS his favorite color, so it was appropriate that he was wearing red on the day of the photo shoot; and red is vibrant, just like David...but the B&W pic has a special feel to it as well...I can't decide!

~ ah...Tobin...my sweetheart...one of the joys of my life these days is simply holding him
~ I love this one of Josiah...oops, did I already use that word? ;)...it's interesting to me how the floor reflected his image...I didn't realize our hardwood floors are that shiny; but from this perspective, they capture his reflection, and I think that's so neat
~ David looking out the window...is he wishing, like I was, that it wasn't raining so we could have gone outside for pictures?...oh, well, these indoor pics delighted me to no end!!!

Other treasures of this day:
~ reading Love You Forever by Robert Munsch to Josiah and David...then "happy crying" (Josiah's expression) together afterwards...oh, wait, I was the only one crying...well, Josiah's eyes were a little teary; he's a sensitive one, and I love that about him...David wasn't crying at all, but he was doing a great job of snuggling...we had a three-person pile-up cuddling time on our couch, and it was wonderful
~ holding Tobin as he fell asleep this afternoon...Tobin is a Babywise baby, so at this stage of life, I put him in bed while he's still awake (but sleepy); and he almost always falls asleep with very minimal fuss...but for some reason this afternoon, he wasn't settling down so I went in and picked him up and held him to see if he had a burp...he never did burp, but gradually stopped his wails as I talked to him...it was interesting to see how he stopped crying so he could hear my voice...he would cry, I would say something, and he would stop...then he would cry a little more, I would say something else, and he would stop again...until finally, he was quiet...and after a few more minutes, he was sound asleep on my shoulder...so still, so sweet, so peaceful, so vulnerable...such a treasure

Beautiful!
I remember that I had the girls photos done when they were attendants at my sister's wedding. I couldn't decide between the black and white or the color. I eventually opted for black and white. I think if it is framed well, it really stands out from other color photos. It makes you look at the expression..it's like it calms down all the other "noise" in the photo, ImHO.
