a hidden treasure
Monday, January 9, 2012
I hardly ever use my point and shoot camera any more. Like, Nuh-Ever. So on Saturday when I pulled it out to take some quick snappies of our junk to sell on Craigslist I was so surprised when I saw some photos of our last week in Santa Monica before we moved back in July. It was like opening a treasure chest! It's great how the things in life aren't things but people and places and the memories you make with them, right? And it's so fantastic that those memories can be captured by film {or now a days pixels} for the heart to reminisce with. When I get to heaven I am going to walk straight up to that camera inventor man and give him a big hug, supposing he made it to heaven and all {... or supposing I do...}
FYI - last year at this time I was on maternity leave and me and my pregnant belly laid out at the beach every day until I was induced. That made for some mean green fightin machine tan lines, my friends, IN JANUARY!! I disagree with you, Dorothy - there's no place like Los Angeles!

I love when I find pictures on the point and shoot. We also use ours so infrequently that I forget to upload the pics. But they always make me smile when I find them.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures!!<3
ReplyDeleteI always carry my point and shoot in the diaper bag (cause that's my new purse nowadays). You never know when you need to capture that Kodak moment!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Ev with her toe in her mouth. Her beautiful baby blue eyes just pop!
That picture of Evelyn chewing on her toes is too cute! How fun to find forgotten pics!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I don't have a point and shoot camera, but usually I have a disposable camera that I carry around with me!
ReplyDeleteBahahahaa! I wish I could lay out everyday! It's a wee bit cooler here in NC! (:
ReplyDeleteKendra,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you're not wearing any clothes in that second picture.
These pictures are beautiful and Evelyn is gorgeous! Like you, I find myself appreciating pictures more and more as they age.
ReplyDeleteyour blog is so precious! i love it. and you are gorgeous lady!!
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is so cute! And I love when I find old pics on my camera that I forget about! I never use my "BIG" camera anymore either :)

I forget from time to time to upload pictures and all of a sudden, I am right back there, several months later with some "awwwwwws" and some cringing moments.
ReplyDeleteYou my friend, will be in heaven right alongside me! :) And if you need any help getting there I'll be happy to assist! haha. I plan to give 'the camera inventor man' a big hug and kiss for his incredible intellect! :) And btw, you look totally nakey in the pic with eveleyn in the life jacket! Made me laugh!
ReplyDeletewhat a cutie! thank goodness for getting the chance to look back on moments we may have forgotten without the blessing of cameras!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet, sweet surprise!!!! :)

She is so cute. Love the one where she's sucking on her toes.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn's cheeks! I just want to squeeze them! Great photos! Love those little treasures. It's almost as fun as finding forgotten money in your pocket!
ReplyDeleteI love her toes in her mouth! It still boggles my mind when Daphne does that...gosh they are so flexible! Your pictures make me excited for summer! Last summer I had a newborn... so the summer activities were few and far between. So this summer we are ready for some fun in the sun!
ReplyDeleteHi - thanks for visiting my blog. I love new faces. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo you got all those great pictures with a point and shoot? Not bad! I miss our linux. It was a point and shoot but did such great macros and really good indoor lighting shots too. I'm unhappy every time I see the indoor shots with our Canon.
Oh...these pictures make me so ready for a beach! And sun! Looks beautiful - maybe I'll have to put that on our to-do list next summer!
ReplyDeleteLove when I find old pictures! It's like re living them again. Your so lucky to have that kind of weather this time of year. What i would do right now for some tan lines!!

Your blog is way too cute! I love the layout and your sweet little family. You kinda remind me of a younger version of myself.
ReplyDeleteI watched your first video film and am inspired to use my video camera more often. My husbands family all moved to Clovis a few years ago so maybe you know them, the Wallworks & Kinross' & Cattons. Small world.
These are great! Your family is so sweet :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Glad my husband isn't the only one with nasty undies!
She has the sweetest smile, EVER! I take a gajillion pictures... Because you're right they allow you to look back on time.
