Essence of Now (September 7, 2012)

Welcome to the Essence of Now, a photography-based meme! The purpose of the Essence of Now is to use photographs to tell the story of this moment of our lives. There’s no requirement that you have a fancy camera or that you be a professional photographer. If you’d like to use a camera, any camera, to share some of your family’s story, Jess of My Time as Mom and I would love to have you join us! The link-up is below.

It was our first week after the beach.

I think we were all relieved to be home. Back with our stuff. Or, in the baby’s case, the stuff she wants to have.

She also kept practicing her cruising. Constantly. She’s learned to stand flat-footed.

It rained a lot. But we still braved the zoo.

Fortunately, it has indoor exhibits too.

What’s your Essence of Now?

The link will be open for a week.

    Oh, these are great pictures!! Love the short chubby little baby legs, and the umbrella with the lion in the background, and the big boy in awe of the exhibit. And of course, that *just out of reach* frustration!
