The kids had a great time. It's always nice to have a little break from being their only source of entertainment, and the only referee when they are fighting. I was able to just take some "for fun" shots while everyone was playing. That hasn't happened in awhile.
It was nice to just wander with my camera and kind of get lost in what I was seeing, and all the beginnings of fall around me. That hasn't happened as much recently with all the client work I'd been doing.
Slowing down is something I'm set on this fall. I want to take time for the kids, for Billy and I, for just breathing a little bit. It's not always popular, but I think saying no and protecting sanity is a good idea sometimes. Especially as a third hooligan is about to make life even busier...and there will be a third person in my life who I'm sure will be naturally good at saying "no". ;)
The first shot is for Paper Heart Camera,
the second is for Scripture and a Snapshot,
and third is for Monday Rewind.

it really feels like a break doesn't it when there's an outing like that when all goes smoothly and there's other people around to give you a bit of time out. All lovely shots but in particular your 2nd & last one -really wonderful.
Slowing down is always good. Life gets so busy. Love looking at your shots. Beautiful.
gorgeous pictures!
my plan for winter is to slow down too! :)
Wow, your shots are really beautiful... I love slowing down!
These are so, so beautiful...and you know I love long-haired boys...especially with curls! :)
Lovely photos! Love that bokeh. You made me smile with your comment about the new arrival saying no, but I think you are very wise about doing that. God bless you.
Family park days are so much fun! I am glad you were all able to do that! I miss being able to get together with my family like that, so the times we can are very treasured...and yes, I also totally enjoy the break I get with all the extra hands around! :)
I love these so much! GORGEOUS!
Those faces are too sweet & those fall colors- I'm swooning!!!!
that light is just gorgeous!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous light!! The chain photo might be my favorite, but pretty much impossible to choose! ;)
