Happy Monday everyone! I’ve got some fun pictures coming up this week but today I’m doing something a little different. There’s a photography website called I Heart Faces and every week they post a photography challenge. Anyone can submit a photograph to the contest and a winner is chosen on Saturday. Now, I am obviously not doing this to win (there are some real pros on there!) but I think it might be a fun way to try new things with my pictures. We’ve all got to be getting a little bored of photos of Maxwell sitting on the couch, right? Ok, me neither…BUT…I do think it will be fun and challenging to try some new things. I likely won’t do it every week but hope to from time to time.
This week’s challenge is “Smiles” and is all about “the joy they bring to each of us.” You guys have seen this picture before. It’s not a photo of a big, broad smile that follows a belly laugh…but a little grin that sure does bring me joy. I hope Maxwell’s little smile with his tongue peeking out makes you smile too!
Check out all the impressive entries at I Heart Faces!
In other news, we had a great weekend. Robert and I went out on our first date since Maxwell was born! Our FANTASTIC nanny, Susan, insisted on coming over for a few hours on Saturday night so we could go out to dinner. We went to Bottega and thoroughly enjoyed some grown-up conversation. It was so nice to be out and not worry one bit about our sweet little guy at home because Susan was in control! She’s the BEST!
