i heart faces {Smiles}

This weeks challenge at i heart faces is SMILES! Boy oh boy is it a challenge for me. Out of my five children, only one of them seems to be able to smile while the camera is around.

Aric is my second oldest and my baby :) I almost lost him when he was 3 months old. He caught bacterial meningitis which led to him having a stroke and seizures. When the doctor came and told me that Aric might not make it, my heart sank. My family came ASAP to be by my side. By the grace of God Aric made it through this whole ordeal, but not without some permanent damage :(

Aric is 9 years old today and his smile is just so infectious! I love taking pictures of him when he's laying on the floor twirling his toy around. It's the best because he doesn't even know I'm there and his smile is just so pure and true.

i heart faces {Collages}

This weeks challenge at i heart faces is collages! I love doing collages because you can fit so many pictures onto one big picture :)

I decided to do my collage on my baby girl, Madison. She will be ONE this Friday! I gave her an Oreo cookie and a sippy cup full of milk and let her go to town. Boy oh boy did she have fun! This was the first time she had ever tasted an Oreo and I think she'll be coming back for more! I guess this is my preview to the messy cake face she'll have on Saturday :) Enjoy the many pictures! I'm sorry if the Oreo messy face offends anyone.
