PhotoHunt #11 - Lazy

So it's been a long time since I've done one of these, but it's ok.

The Theme is Lazy and Adrien certainly enjoys a bit of laziness on a hot summer day.

Enjoy,

PhotoHunt #10 - Beautiful

Ok so it's been too long, and I missed last week's photohunt. But here's a new one. I know I have a theme going here, and I'm sorry if you're tired of seeing lots of children, but if you haven't noticed yet, this blog has a lot to do with children.

My beautiful photo shows how blessed we are with all the children in our lives.

Our friends Karlyn and Eugene baptized their baby last week (he's the baby being held on the left by his oldest cousin) and these were all the children present at the lunch afterwards. From left to right: Langston(on arms), Kalil, Heidi, Jax(on lap), Kali, Adrien(on lap), Bleu, Kadar(back), Kaden, Ricardo, Kanye.

PhotoHunt #9 - Colorful

This week's photohunt theme, with which I'm late again, by the way, is Colorful! What's more colorful than children?? This was taken at Adrien's 1st B-day party. He and his friend Avari have birthdays 6 weeks apart and they had a party together. Enjoy:

Photo Hunt #8 - Dark

I don't have many pictures about Dark that aren't obviously dark. But what I do have is Comic-Con. JM went to Comic-con last month and there was a lot of darkness there. Here's just one picture of the Dark Place.

Photo Hunt #7 - Clouds

For this week's theme I was a little ahead of myself, however, I forgot to post it on Saturday so, I'm behind again. Go figure. But it's here it is. It was pretty rainy in Paris when we were there in March, see Pointed post for more details. Here's a Cloudy sky at the Louvre.

Photo Hunt #6 - Hanging

My baby came home last week on Wednesday night. I was very happy to have him home, and he was happy to come home. He had a great vacation. On Friday he went back to school and the teacher had him stand up in front of the class and tell everyone what he did during his vacation. He's been talking my ear off ever since. If he talked a lot before he went to spend time with his cousin, he talks even more now!!

For this week's theme I have a couple of pics of Ricky when he was on vacation. The one on top has his cousin Gabby making sure he doesn't fall and the one below shows him hanging from a pole.

Photo Hunt #5 - What is that?

This one is What is that...look???

I'd like to know too, but it's very funny!! Enjoy.

Photo Hunt #4 - Support

This one I thought would be challenging to find a picture of the kids that I thought fit the support theme. I ended up finding a few some were a bit of a stretch, others a bit more obvious. I decided to go with this one. It's Adrien's first time enjoying the pool and daddy is supporting him in his endeavor, literally. Enjoy.

Photo Hunt#3 - Pointed

Ok, I've spent all week thinking about this photo hunt theme and I couldn't think of any pictures of the kids that made me think of pointed and instead of doing something metaphoric, I decided to show some pointed stuff. The pictures are from France. In March, I went on a trip, with 5 teens and another leader, from my church youth group, to a place in France called Taize. We spent a day on either end in Paris as well. Taize is an ecumenical community that has people from all over the world who come together for prayer and fellowship. So let me explain the pictures.
The above two pictures are of the most known pointed item in France, the Tour Eiffel.
This one is the new fancy contraptions (Pyramids) in front of the Louvre. We got to see some of Louvre, by the way, quite an experience, and another story.

These last two are from Taize. The background is the alter of the huge chapel at Taize that seats an average of 5,000 people a week, on the floor, 3 times a day.


It's an amazing place.


So here's my pointed story about France and specially Taize, a place, I believe young adults of all ages, if given the opportunity, should experience.


Faithfully, Paula

Photo Hunt #2 - Bright

In this picture, from front to back, Ricky, Ziya, Kali, neighborboy, Heidi (partially cut off).

Ok the photo hunt theme of the week is bright, I didn't want to go obvious with brightness, I was planning on having just the perfect picture of one of the boys smiling extra brightly, so I proceded to take a whole slew of pictures of Ricky, even got a few good ones of Adrien smiling, but none of them screamed BRIGHT! So I went to find the pictures that were really bright. This one was taken at the birthday party that Adrien shared with his friend Avari. It's a picture of the older kids at the party but it was a very sunny day and any picture I tried to take of them on the water, where it wasn't shaded, came out way too bright!

PhotoHunt#1: Water

PhotoHunt

I'm Starting this blogging thing with an easy thing to do, just add a picture that follows this photohunt theme. So here's mine. It's my oldest baby, REM is 4 years old, and he knows how to have a good time in the bath. I was going to post a different picture of him, but we've recently changed computer and those pictures are on a disc somewhere. Enjoy!
