I may just have a new favorite photo ever.  Three girls + two grandparents + Amish country =

from Psalm 121 (ESV)

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Lindsay at The Name Nazi is hosting a photography challenge this week in honor of Valentine’s Day: photograph something pink!  Well we have no shortage of pink or sweetness around here (or white, but that’s another story!) so I thought I’d play along.

Outtakes?  Um, yeah.  We’ve got those.  Most of them involve either what you see below, or things that ought not to be shown on the internet for reasons of propriety.

This was a photo shoot we did in an effort to cheer on my best friend Mary when she walked the Breast Cancer 3-Day in San Francisco this year.  Love all the faces in this one (all those you can see, at least.)

I tried to catch a new shot of  our wee man this week for I *Heart* Faces’ weekly photo challenge, but he wasn’t all that cooperative, so I took a stroll through the archives and found this sweet memory.

Our flat in Scotland had a mail slot right through the door.  Every day that Gulliver and I were at home together when the post arrived, it was a race to the door when we heard the postman coming.  On this day, he won.  Here he is guarding the spoils.

I am not a photographer, and I have enough people in my life who *are* photographers (Megan, I’m looking at you!)  both to keep me humble and to keep me in cute pictures of my kiddos.  Every once in a while though, I catch a glimpse of the potential, even with a cheapish point-and-shoot camera like ours.

This was one of those pictures, and it happens to fit perfectly with this week’s theme on a blog that I’ve been fascinated by for a number of weeks now.

I ? Faces hosts a weekly photography contest usually on a theme related to faces, which is, of course, my favorite thing in the world to take a picture of anyway.  I don’t know if I’ll be entering regularly or not.  It could become an addiction.
