Ring, Ring

EDIT: WOW what a day, I got called last night for a NILMDTS session (35 week old baby girl). It was a very long day and I feel so much for this family, please keep them in your prayers.

The boys wanted to play telephone. They found some cans and some string and set some up some phones. Boys who needs toys if you have string and cans?

You must be exhausted but I don't have to tell you what an amazing gift you gave to those parents. And love the shot, your boys must be a riot to live with.

String and cans are the best thing ever :)

So sorry about your Nilmdts session. I am in awe of people who can do them. I know the family has got to be so appreciative, even through their devastation.

Ah, only if ALL boys' toys were this cheap! I really like your conversion to B&w and vignette with this. And I am praying for you in the baby girl's family :(

I did a NILMDTS session yesterday, too. Twins -- a boy and a girl. I feel so sad for these families.

I love your shot today. Great B&W.

Love the creativity! I was a lot like that when I was younger and I hope and pray my boys are the same way. Sometimes I resent technology and what it's done to our children. Sorry for the rant. The picture looks great in BnW, really timeless.

God bless you for doing the session too...

Liz said...

I will keep the family in my thoughts. :(
Your kiddos sound like so much fun!

Becky said...

God bless you for the work you do with NILMDTS. Great b/w, and I love the curls and curves of the string.

Fun! I'll have to try this soon. That is so good of you to take the pictures in such a difficult situation. I know, I was on the other side of the camera almost 5 years ago.
