Your Life As Art Photography by Pam

The kids love exploring and it did not take much direction or encouragement to get them to sit up on this big rock… just patience ;) Love them and love that my hubby and I spent this today together with our babies and other family.
11 years ago today, hubby and I became a couple.
Our kids are very much like their mama. As soon as I could get in the water at the cottage I did. The weather was gorgeous there, water wasn’t the warmest but it wasn’t as cold as it has been in many past years.
I love that this family vacation cottage is being shared with my children amd family :)
I love how gorgeous and vibrant these dandelions are… Even if they are considered “weeds” they are gorgeous when appreciated for their macro beauty.
One of the biggest reasons I love photography, seeing the beauty in things that when looked at through another persons eyes are not always seen as beautiful, with photography I have gained a new appreciation of sight and the world around me. Just taking the time to view things in a different light and true appreciation.
Gorgeous sunshine through the trees. Good morning Saturday :)
Raising children… everyday it is a part of us, watching the new things they do or say, laughing at their pure innocence and child logic, listening to them explain and tell stories. Watching these feet grow, that started so tiny.
As I sit here this early morning, in absolute silence in our house awaiting our family’s day to begin I am so very thankful for the time we do have together, for the love we share and the beautiful children we have to grow with. At times life is not easy, but our children remind us at each day is a brand new day and as our children are learning so are we.
This weekend, Sunday, my husband and I celebrate being together for 11 years. A true accomplishment and something we want our children to be proud of us for. Hearing our children tell us they want to grow up to be just like mommy and daddy is the best compliment I could ever ask for! For our children to know that life is not perfect, but what we have been given is perfectly ours. That things do not happen without hard work and to appreciate those things. There is more to life than just tv and toys, the world is an amazing place to explore and by working hard comes the opportunity.
11 years ago today I would never have thought I would be meeting my husband this evening. I was at a very confusing point in my life and meeting him turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me, with all my dreams coming true and still so much more to discover together!
One of the best things about becoming a parent, is truly “becoming” ourselves, and having our children to thank for this amazing opportunity.
It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard
The guys who fear becoming fathers don’t understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. The end product of child raising is not the child but the parent. ~Frank Pittman, Man Enough
These sweet children of ours absolutely blow my mind everyday. What is even more awesome is that when went to the open house and book fair tonight at the lil man’s school, the two books the lil man picked were completely unknown to me, until we showed his lil sis his classroom and I noticed the authors name they were talking about up on the board. sure enough the books our son choose were written by this author! Very awesome and proud mommy moment. Especially when he explained to daddy why he chose the books he did, since daddy had to work and couldn’t come with us. Love these kids they make me us, so very proud!
It was unbelievable to watch the storm clouds rolling in again and again and within minutes the rain hit.
The next round of storm clouds rolling in! Some crazy weather tonight and it’s still going on.
The storm clouds rolling in above the trees behind our house.
When the kids and I got home tonight it was lightly raining so I convinced them to get their rain boots on and go dance in the rain.
Then the boy runs inside and declares “Mommy!!! A rainbow!!!”
