{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 28 (final)

Today's theme: Future


“Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. 
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... 
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
- Shel Silverstein


One of my favorite poets when I was growing up....I hope Naomi will enjoy reading him as much as I did!


Day 28: Future

{From our trip to the aquarium today.}

Thanks friends for joining me on Willette's Joy Of Love project this whole month~
I've learned so much from Willette, the enormous talent that is out there, and most importantly, capturing the JOY of everyday moments!

Hope to keep on capturing the precious ordinary on this blog :)

{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 26 and 27

Playing catch up...


Day 26: Bromance or Best friend


Didn't have a recent photo of Tim with his friends, but here is one I like of him and our good friend Tony (taken last month). 
Tony is originally from Seattle like us, but moved down to LA a couple of years before we did with his wife, Janet. He's been one of several people who have really encouraged me in my photography (he shoots professionally - check out his work here) and has been awesome-ly generous with his wisdom and advice...this photo is missing P.Yoou...will have to remember to get a shot of all the guys next time.

Day 26: Bromance

and another take on Day 26...


Best friends
(whether they like it or not! haha. This was shot today right before their nap.)

Day 26: Best Friend

and finally,


Day 27: What They Say


Noelle is ALWAYS saying "Mamma" which in Korean means "food"! Here she is with her beloved snack trap, chomping on some blueberries. This girl doesn't mess around when it comes to snacks!

Day 27: What They Say

Check out more photos from the Joy of Love project on Willette's flickr stream!
Happy Sunday everyone~

{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 25

a day behind...


Today's theme: When You Love Them the Most


I love that Tim is a great father.
He knows how to play with them and give them his undivided attention. Doesn't talk on the phone, text, watch TV, or surf the net when he's playing with the girls but is fully present...it's hard to do these days with all the technology surrounding us. 
Here's a shot from this morning...

{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 24

Today's theme: Where


Where did you first meet your loved one?
I first met Tim at a church camp back in Seattle when I was 14....
but decided to take this shot since we're nowhere near there :)


Overlake Starbucks, Valentine's Day 2005
First time that Tim tried to tell me he likes me after 10 years as just 'friends'.


Honey, I knew it had to be...

Day 24: Where

{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 23

Today's theme: Facebook


What is your favorite Facebook photo?
Took a stroll down memory lane, looking at all my old albums on FB...sometimes the best photos aren't the ones with the greatest composition, sharpest focus and brightest colors....sometimes it's just the memory the image brings!


So here is my favorite - a photo of me and Naomi taken on my Mac Photobooth app. She is a little under 2 years old here, before we moved from Seattle to CA. 




I've taken a bunch of these photos on my Mac over the past 4 years...our family has grown from just the two of us to now four! Here is our family in the raw! :)

Had to interrupt my Joy of Love project with this capture from today...

{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 21

Today's theme: Hands


"I have held many things in my hands, 
and I have lost them all; 
but whatever I have placed in God's hands, 
that I still possess."
- Martin Luther


Day 21: Hands

{the JOY of LOVE} : Day 20

Today's theme: When They're Home


What is the house like when your loved ones are home?


Here is Naomi having some juice with 'friends'...ahhh, so nice and quiet....


Day 20: When They're Home


then Daddy comes home...
and the volume level in the house goes wa-----y up!
Shrieks and giggles everywhere. (Mommy needs some Advil please.)


(This play session ended with the two girls bumping heads on accident and crying...typical of how most play sessions end in this house!)
