Goodnight

I walked into LB's room tonight to read and saw the two of them sitting there joking around, and immediately ran for my camera. Lately LB has been imitating characters out of some of his Dr Seuss books. He is starting to realize how funny he is and working us for laughs. For now he is really beating some of his bits into the ground, so he is exploring the art of comedic repetition, killing the joke and then repeating it enough times it becomes a laugh again. Genius. He is going to love Monty Python.

LB loves bedtime routines, and he makes it hard to say goodnight. He is always at his sweetest right before bed. No matter what happens during our day, we leave that room completely in love with our life.





All the love in the Universe ~ Me

P.S. Will post that Thursday Photoshoot first thing tomorrow. It was a fun one.

@ Shandell- we found that at Ikea actually. I am not sure if they still sell it or not, we got it awhile ago. he is pretty into it.

What an absolutely gorgeous photo. Try to get some audio next time! I loved listening to the giggling recording earlier this week.

There is so much love and contentment that shines through this photo. You are truly gifted, both with talent and family.

I LOVE that photo. Perfection.

Francine May 1, 2009 8:25 AM  

Great photo, that sky thing is great. Does it have actual constellations or is it just random stars? My cousin's kid is getting really into learning constellations.

That picture looks like it's straight out of a story book.

Jaden Paige May 1, 2009 10:42 AM  

I also LOVE this photo. And the tent. All of it.

You have such a great little family.

Shandell May 1, 2009 12:22 PM  

I had a feeling that it would be from Ikea. I've been eyeing the leaf canopy they have now...but this tent is so much cooler!

Steam Me Up, Kid May 1, 2009 1:19 PM  

You are a GIFTED photographer. No shit.

Stephanie Meade Gresham May 1, 2009 6:38 PM  

We have that bed, too! Cadence adores it. Love this pic. Reminds me of the scene in ET where they are huddled under the sheets with the flashlight.
Love, love, love.

Sarah May 1, 2009 9:32 PM  

Dude, admit it, you were put on this earth to make my eyes well up on a weekly basis. I'm off to make some kind of starry umbrella to put over my bed.

anymommy May 2, 2009 12:46 AM  

That is such a sweet picture.

Michelle May 4, 2009 7:13 AM  

Damn how do you take such amazing photos dude?

Good-Grace May 4, 2009 3:09 PM  

Another lovely post... so,so sweet!

Sarah Aubrey May 5, 2009 9:31 AM  

Cole and LB, being mom and son...which is opening up the universe to both of them in a new way...which makes the star tent so much more symbolic...

Noob Mommy May 5, 2009 2:56 PM  

Love that photo!

Krystal May 5, 2009 4:47 PM  

I haven't been around much and for that I a apologize. Things have been so hectic with everything at home but I know what you mean about those special moments right before they does off to la la land. Routines are a wonder and I embrace them wholeheartedly and those angelic moments that make even the worst day - the best day ever - are so totally worth it!!!

Lots of love and hugs to you guys!
