baby blog

I remember a time thinking that I would never have a blog and that facebook was ridiculous. Here I am two blogs, one website, and a facebook account later- When I started this blog my ambition was for it to be a creative journal. A place to show various domestic endeavors, sewing projects, painting, and crafts, with a bit of James Henry sprinkled in. Definitely not a baby blog. I thought that people who talked about their kids all the time were boring and self indulgent... 98 percent of the post on this blog have been just that. As it turns out, I don't have time for all of that other stuff, and in this season of my life I am feeling much more nurturing than creative. Photography is a wonderful mix of both, it allows me to creatively document the most precious of subjects. Is it that art imitates life, or life imitating art? I dunno, but my boys are examples of both. God is their creator but he so graciously allows me to take part. I am a co-creator. It is fun for me to consider myself a little intern to the creative genius Himself! I am so grateful to be one of their earthly parents and comforted to know that He is their Heavenly Father. I kinda flipped out the other day when a photographer that I admire left a comment on this blog. I felt embarrassed that she had seen some of the snapshots that I have posted. I wanted for all of the images to be perfect and artistic and my words eloquent and meaningful (isn't that how we would all love to present ourselves, but that is a whole 'nother post) Clint reminded me that it is the capturing of moments and the genuine smiles that he cares about seeing. Life is art. Art is life, and baby blogs are not so lame after all.
