Linked 52: Quiet

Well, I changed my mind.... (in case you're wondering, Tracey, why our photos don't look anything alike as I had said in my comment. ha!)

I had every intention of posting a different photo but the following photo popped into my head and I like it too much not to share.

Having 2 boys...there's not much quiet around here.

Any peace and quiet in this house is cherished.

Right before I snapped this shot (with my phone)...Owen had taken off his shirt and was jumping wildly on our bed.

yes, I let him and no, this is not a daily occurrence.

Apparently, he had some extra energy to burn off that morning!  : )

Eventually, he calmed down and decided he was going to get his piggy bank and count his money.

So there he sat....quietly.

In that beautiful light....counting pennies.

The quiet was there, even if it was just for a brief while.....

and it was precious.



Go check out everyone else's quiet too!

What a beautiful pocket of light. I love those fleeting quiet moments that little boys have. So rare and fast. :)

Tracey said...

I loved this photo when you posted it on instagram! The light in it is beautiful and the fact that he is sitting in even more so. We gotta treasure every bit of little quiet they take, don't we? As they get older they hide in their earphones so getting them to actually make noise takes some work!

Andrea said...

Oh! I saw this one on Instagram and just love it! Beautiful light. And a sweet, quiet moment. :)

Ohhhh, I love this! The light is beautiful and the perspective is perfect. Just peeking in on his quiet. You will always know the story behind this image - the crazy bed jumping to this quiet. Thanks for sharing this image.

What a great capture of quiet. Yes, life with boys isn't filled with much quiet. Usually when it's quiet they're something wrong!

Loved it on IG and loving it now. Love the light and how it's hugging him. Get him started early on counting money! That way you won't pull your hair out teaching it to him in first grade! :-)

I love this! My kids run around shirtless too. I love the framing and the light. Great shot, especially from a camera.

Jessica said...
