Joy of Love ~ Day 9

Day 9 Theme ~ Passions and Hobbies

Sebastian enjoys playing and watching football. Although his NFL team didn’t make the playoffs this year, his flag football team totally rocked. Sebastian’s passion for football is shared by his Dad (and his Papa Tom, and his Uncle Sean and Nana Karen too).

Sebastian has been required to read several books this year for 4th grade. Although he needed a bit of encouragement to sit down and pull a book out early in the year, we often find him in his room looking like this now.

Sophia’s passion continues to be…art. She loves to work on any project that involves markers, crayons, glue, scissors or any other form of creativity.

Joy of Love ~ Day 8

Day 8 Theme ~ Love From The Heart

A gift from the heart of my children. Sebastian wanted to use his own money this past Christmas to buy me something special. He asked Mike if there were any camera lenses that he could buy for me. His allowance is only a couple of dollars each week so no camera lens would fit within his budget. A little searching by Mike led him to this coffee mug that looks exactly like a camera lens. Sebastian asked Sophia if she would like to go in on buying it for me. She agreed and they presented it to me on Christmas Eve. Truly a gift from the heart. I LOVE it!

Another special gift to me was the Canon camera that Mike bought for me on Mother’s Day in 2008. He was the one who encouraged me, inspired me and gave me the tools to get started with my photography. He also purchased the domain name msullivanphotography.net so that I could share my photography with family and friends.

To Mike, Sebastian and Sophia – Thank you for all the gifts big and small…the hugs and kisses, shoveling the driveway, picking up after our dog, making the bed on the weekends, drawing pictures to share with me. All of those things are so very special to me.

Joy of Love ~ Day 7

Day 7 Theme ~ Generations

This is a tough theme for us since both sets of parents do not live nearby. I did take a quick shot of Mike with the kids before he headed off to his board meeting tonight. We also added in a photo of his parents in another photo to get “three generations” of Sullivans. It was all a bit rushed, but here’s what we ended up with.
