What's New With The Carter Family

Day 26: Bromance.... Ummm yeah. I don't think so. My boys don't really have any 'bros' that they're 'mancing with. How about another snow picture instead? Okidoki. I love this picture! I took it from my deck, when the snow was falling. It was early evening, which is why it looks so dark and gloomy. The eerie look is one of the reasons I love this picture so much. It has this almost bluish tinge to it, but honestly, that is exactly how it looked outside when I took this shot. I opened the picture up in PSE8 to try and remove the blue tinge, to get a cleaner shot, but it just didn't have the same impact on me without the blue/gray coloring. So I left it as is :)

Day 25: When you love them the most... I have a great picture book that talks about this. It's called Little Raccoon's Big Question . See, little Raccoon keeps asking his mommy WHEN does she love him the most? Is it when he's eating his breakfast? When he's brushing his teeth? When he's swimming clear across the pond? When? Her answer....is Right Now. Because it's always Right Now. She loves him all the time. I feel this way about my little guy. There isn't a moment in the day when I don't love him the most . So for today's assignment I could have photographed anything :) I chose to post a collage of pictures that I took this past week, when we had a couple of days of snow and Jem got the day off school because of it.

Day 24: Where...did you first meet, fall in love, get married... Okay. It's getting kind of late. Let's see...almost 9pm. I've been putting this photography prompt off all day. When I saw the topic I thought 'huh'. I've been trying to get motivated to take some sort of picture, any picture , that represented some kind of where . I contemplated not doing today's prompt. I mean, what am I supposed to photograph? It just wasn't clicking for me. And then I saw this. Our magnet. I like collecting magnets. I always want one from every state or country we visit, as a reminder of where we've been. When I saw this particular magnet, from the state of Texas, it reminded me of where we lived when we were first married. The Lone Star State. The wide, open, lots of cows everywhere, politest people on this earth, best night skies you've ever seen, state of Texas. And then it hit me. I always associate 'us' with Texas. It's where we were married, wh...

Day 23: Facebook...find your favorite FB photo of your loved one... There are no words to adequately describe my feelings about this outfit. All I can say is this: Pam, what were you THINKING ??? This photo still remains one of my very favorite of my husband, and has been (on occassion) his Facebook Profile Picture. Gotta love that Brandon smile...but babe...you seriously needed a haircut! You're looking a little shaggy there!

Day 22: Face (A Portrait) This is a picture I took 3 days ago, when my niece and her family came over to our house to visit. It had been a few months since I'd taken any pictures of my beautiful River, and so I begged and pleaded with her to let me take some shots! Oh alright, there was no begging, no pleading. She was quite a willing model for her Aunt Cathy. Such a good girl :) However, once I saw the pictures on my computer screen, it absolutely blew me away when I saw how much OLDER she looks! Can you believe that this is my 11-year-old niece? Wowsers!

Day 21: Hands.... I have decided not to post a picture for today, since the topic was "hands" and I already took a picture like that earlier on in the month. You can see that post {Joy Day 7} by clicking HERE .

Day 20: When they are here....what is life like when they are around? One of the best things about Brandon being home (especially after a 2 week long business trip) is that I feel safe at night. I absolutely HATE sleeping by myself....there is nothing like having a big, strong, cuddly cutie pie sleeping next to you to make you feel warm and secure. I'm very glad he is back, and I'm super glad to have my protector back at my side.
