happy hearts: parts is NOT just parts


so, i'm a foster mom...without any foster kiddos right now. but one of my friends has a house full...she's a little nuts like me! anyway, one of her precious peas never got newborn pics.
so, i love photography...and babies!
and photographing babies is uber great!!!

i was so excited...and he was tired and hungry...of course.

i love baby expressions and foreheads...look at the intense thought here.

and being cute and cuddly is so stinking exhausting!

don't you just love those sweet little baby hands and feet???
so, my fun and excitement for this month included doing a photo shoot for some very happy and joyful birthparents who never got newborn pics of their precious pea...

it's not much, but it's def something that i know i treasure as a momma...so in honor of project{happy hearts}, i used some of my skills to give a smile to someone in need.

come and join in the fun! go see more at chronicles of a mommy.

Not much? Are you kidding me? That is EVERYTHING to a parent! I would LOVE to have had newborn pictures of Lincoln & Ruby Jane. Instead, we have sanpshots and 7 month old pictures. That's OK though, we're all good. My point is, that you did something great to make someone's hear HAPPY...and you have mad skills dear friend. Mr. Linky is back up and running. He was being a litte funky earlier. Sorry!

What beautiful photographs of that sweet little one and what a lovely gift to give the family.
I can't tell you how many times I wished I had newborn pics of the kids I have adopted. :(

Blessings!

I never thought about foster kids not having any baby photos of themselves before. How sad!

Are you a professional photographer?

I am so humbled by people like you and your friends who give homes to these kids.

Its a beautiful thing you do.

You're a foster mom? How cool is that! You've got such a big heart!
Mama Nut said…
I agree with the above comments. Your photos capture the innocence and also go to show what a big heart you have. I think you rock! Stopping by from SITS rollcall to say hello.

First, I love that Harry Connick Jr. Song you have playing. What album is it from? I thought I had all of his music.
Second, I love those pictures! That baby is adorable.
Third, What a fun way to pass on a smile.

These lovely pictures are not good. Not good at all. They make me think that maybe I am ready to have another baby. Yikes!

I am going to wake my kids up from their nap and get back to reality now. :)

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
