From way back when…we set up a tripod and took this family picture. Even though the colors could be brighter in it, it’s still one of my favorites. I’ve searched for this picture in my files whenever I had the chance, and today when I was scrolling through endless files of Minecraft screenshots that kids took, there appeared this picture. Life is funny like that! And I see my hair was still a mess as it is now.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!
Family silliness is always a good thing!

Couldn’t agree more! I grew up in a strict home so silliness was not a usual thing, so I am a big proponent of fun and silliness.

I love this picture too, Esther!!! I zoomed in so I could see all the funny faces your family members were making! And your hair is fabulous for the funny face you were making.
And yes, I just love it when I finally find the thing that I was looking for… and find it in the strangest places!
You gave me a wonderful laugh just now!

Thank you, TD!! I’m so happy to have given you a happy laugh. It was a random photo and if Ellis was wearing a tank top, it must’ve been a summer evening.
Thank you for the lovely comment about my hair. My hairstyle is such a big mess. When I was single and before kids, I used to straighten it and it was long. But now I just go with the bob cut and my natural waves. Some days it’s good and other days…bleh. 🙂
And you find things when and where you least expect it and in the most random places.

That’s a fine photo, and a good quotation, too! Isn’t it funny how a single photo can evoke so many memories?

Thank you so much, Linda!! It was one of those random photos we took thinking that it was going to be a flop. Yep, you’re so right how a single photo evokes so many positive memories of one moment in our past.
