A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in last week's Oh Snap! party.  We had a great turn-out with many newbies to speak of and some of my favorite faithfuls. :) I hope you guys are checking out all the other awesome blogs that surround you each week.

Last week's most "liked" photo was this cute B&W of a big brother and his adoring little sister.  How can you not love that huge smile on her face and the way she is holding her toes in excitement. Too cute!

My favorite from last week was this adorable, colorful photo of one of the most darling little models I've ever seen.  Don't you just wanna squeeze those little tootsie roll arms?!  

Bonus: You can find some useful photography tips on Jessica's blog. :)

This last photo I wanted to feature for a couple of reasons: 1. My husband made me watch Planet of the Apes last night for the first time.  Trust me, it gives a whole new perspective to this picture!  2. The photographer of this photo leads an interesting life...having lived most of her life in third world countries.  I thought some of you might find her blog quite interesting.

As for me, well, I'm breaking one of my own "rules" this week.  I'm pulling from the archives...before my DSLR days.  Back to the simple days of point-n-shoot.  :)  


Today is Jonathan's birthday so I thought I'd share a picture from his birthday two years ago...Jonathan's first birthday as a Daddy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANDSOME!  
Elephant Shoe!
