Week 18: In Their Hands

MY first thought of hands were of the wonder I get at seeing how fast my grandchildren grow before my eyes. It is one of the joys of "the second generation." I know when my five children were growing up I had my mind on a million other things that always seemed to need doing to see they got where they needed to go, but with these guys I can just sit back and enjoy the journey (well for the most part, anyway).

 

The picture I took for this week's theme shows my oldest grandson (Can't believe he will be driving next year!) playing rough house with his sister (above his head) and his cousin (on his knees). I still remember when his hands were smaller than theirs. I know his sister doesn't seem to like the idea of him holding hers so tightly and yet am sure in the years to come she will have moments when she will cherish that hold when it's needed.

 

Right after this shot was taken, Jadyn, the cousin, slipped off his knees and was aiming for the floor head first. It was beautiful to see how fast his hand shot out to make sure it was beneath her head before that happened.

 

See you next week.

Week 17: Evening Moments

"There is a moment when the day begins to quietly slip away from the earth and the calm of evening floods over the land. Colors deepen, stars peek through pin holes in a twilight sky. We begin to exhale and slowly let the world of the day slide from our shoulders." ~ Sally Russick

 

It is that wonderful time of day when the young and the young at heart walk through tall grass sending fireflies aloft to illuminate the way, and dream of far off places full of mystical faeries and the magical stories surrounding them.

 



but even Faeries need to rest.

May you always remain young at heart!

 

See you next week.

Week 16: A Moment Best Captured in Black and White

 

Not so much a moment in time as a lifetime of moments. For this week's photo I decided to focus on another of the numerous plaques hanging in my home.

 

 

During this Holiest of weeks the words on the plaque are those that I have tried to share with my husband, instill in my children, and attempted to live my life. I am not claiming to be a saint, and have failed many times, but believe we all are merely humans attempting to do our best.

 

See you next week.
