Ben Swings in the November Sun

I like this crop better but I'm sure this doesn't qualify as "Sun Flare".

My Autumn Beauty


Ben's birthday, originally uploaded by tctripp.

Here is a photo of Ben on his birthday last week. We were playing under an oak tree. The boys all had a fun time and it was fun for me to try and capture a few special birthday pictures. Stop by I heart faces to see more fall photos this week.

Charlie lost his first tooth on Friday. It came out on the bus on the way home from kindergarten. He put it in his pocket, luckily, and was excited to show me when he got off the bus. After that point he didn't want to talk about it for the rest of the day! I was able to sneak a few quick pictures before it was put under his pillow for the first tooth fairy visit. Sam lost a tooth last year when he fell so we also put his tooth under his pillow. The tooth fairy brought each boy a gold dollar. Sam carried his around for awhile and Charlie put his in his special drawer.

B & W




The (cup)Cake




That was good!

For the joy of it

My little baby is now a toddler...ONE year old. I read a book about a women who talked about having a third baby "For the joy of it". Ben, you have been a joy since the moment I first saw you! You make us all smile every day. Your happy dance, morning smiles, and hands high stands are pure joy. Happy first birthday. We love you!

Tonight is the night we first met Ben a year ago! My mom stayed one more night...just in case. What awesome memories! You can't beat holding your baby for the first time.

I just purchased a new canon this weekend. I'm trying to learn more about photography and made the jump to a DSLR. I'm excited about the beautiful weather this week that will allow me to get outside and try it out.
