MCP Project 52 {Week 10}

My latest photography endeavor is MCP Project 52.  One photo a week based on a theme.  The project began the first week in January.  I’m a little late…10 weeks late to be exact.  I guess I could call it my own Project 42.  Just like the joy of love, participation is free and you can join in at any time.  This week’s theme is childhood toys.  Mike has a stash of stuff in our storage room in the basement.  He pulled out these priceless gems for me to photograph last night .

Mattel Electronics ~ Baseball, Football, Basketball

 

Mattel Football 2 is not shown, although it carries quite the story.  It was the updated version of Mattel Football, but encased in dark green.  We have this one at home in our storage room too, but it didn’t make the final cut in my photo.  The game was a gift to Sean and Mike for Christmas when they were kids.  They found the wrapped package under the Christmas tree prior to Christmas.  With their parents not at home, Mike and Sean carefully opened the end of the wrapping, slid the game out and played until they heard their  Mom and Dad’s car in the driveway.  They quickly slipped it back into the packaging, sealed up the tape on the wrapping and laid it back under the tree without their parents ever knowing.  Many years later as adults, the story is a favorite one to tell.

Joy of Love ~ Days 25-28

The final day of the Joy of Love photo project is now here .  My pictures from the past four days’ projects are below.

Day 25 Theme ~ When (You Love Them The Most)

I love that Mike always remembers special occasions – birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day.  It’s one  of the things I love most about him.

Day 26 Theme ~ Bro-Mance

What Mike enjoys when he’s not with the wife and kids.  He has his annual ice fishing trip and annual golf trip, but he also loves skiiing with his brother.

Day 27 ~ What They Say

Sophia reminds us of her love each day. Sometimes she tells us out loud, sometimes it comes from her big hugs, other times she colors a picture and writes the words.

Day 28 ~ Future

I hope for our future to include many more trips to the ski hill and many, many more activities that make us enjoy our time together as a family.

It has been so much fun and also a challenge to keep up with the daily projects for the Joy of Love class.  Although it was hard to fit it in with work, kids and activities, I’m so glad I did it for the past 28 days.  There is a free week-long mini session in March – Joy of Luck.  I plan to sign up and look forward to this next photography adventure.

Joy of Love ~ Day 24

Day 24 Theme ~ Where (I Fell in Love)

Mike and I worked together for six months before our first date. We became good friends during that time. He finally got up the courage to ask me out on a date and we decided to go out for drinks after our shifts at work were done. We sat in a booth at the upstairs bar of Grandma’s Restaurant and spent the whole time talking and learning about each other’s favorite things. By the time he dropped me off at my apartment building and we had our first kiss, I knew he was the one. My picture is of the building in downtown Duluth where I was living at the time.
