i ♥ faces "Photojournalism"

This week at i ♥ faces the theme is "Photojournalism". My entry is of my middle daughter, Ayva.

In the picture on the left, it shows her in her incubator in the NICU after being born 11 weeks early. It is a picture showing that being born early is and was just the beginning of her struggles. She has had to fight for everything since the moment she was born.

In the picture on the right, it shows Ayva, older than the last picture. She has had to fight so much more than her siblings. You can see the level of pain that was once there in her eyes. I think her eyes are way beyond her years, and that my sweet, innocent, middle child has a look that no child should every wear. A look of overcoming adversity. She is my hero for being so strong and so brave.

i ♥ faces "Bundled Up"

This week the theme at i ♥ faces is "Bundled Up". I have a really cute picture of my daughter, Anna. She is 2 and cannot walk. So this year I took her out, all bundled up in her snowsuit and hat, and put her on her belly on our front porch. I let her take her time and discover the snow all by herself. She moved to touch it herself and was in complete control. Not surprising, she loved it! She mostly liked to eat it, which it was a good thing it had just snowed, so it was pretty clean! She was so proud of herself for reaching and grabbing that snow. It was a neat moment I will never forget and am glad I have this photo to help me remember.

I ♥ Faces "Hilarious Outtakes!"

This week we get to choose 5 pictures! Here are my Hilarious Outtakes:

This one is of my son. I was trying to get him to walk around our yard, but he didn't have any shoes on and was not diggin the grass on his bare feet. He finally just sat down and kept trying to rub the dirt off of his feet!

This is one of my friends Julie and Nathan. I was asked to get some family photos of them before they moved away, and I'm not sure who's idea it was to climb into a tree **coughJuliecough**. But getting out of the tree seemed to be a bigger challenge than getting into it was!

The next one is from my impromptu photo shoot with my husband and my son. They were walking together so nicely, and then I noticed that my skinny son lost his pants!

This is one I tried to get all of my Grandma's great grandkids together for a group picture...it didn't help that the kids weren't feeling very cooperative...two toppled over, one crying and the other two not looking...oh well, the background was nice :)

The last one is of my kiddos, Anna and Justin playing in their ball pit...
