This Moment::Ash Wednesday

Photo by GRANT HINDSLEY, Daily Herald

{this moment} ~ A Friday ritual. A single photo capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment.

On Wednesday, after taking Michael to Shriner's Hospital for a check up, we stopped by church for the noon service for Ash Wednesday. This is our first time celebrating Lent, and the service was beautiful.

Today, the church posted pictures that the newspaper had taken, and Steve, Michael and I were in one of them :)

5/52::The Eyeglasses::February 3

A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2015

Michael found Matt's old pair of glasses, and now he'll put them on and wander around the house looking at things in a different way :) I'm sure that things look like they would in a fun-house mirror & that's probably why he does it! Well, that and that he really likes glasses - he loves his SpongeBob sunglasses too.

One of these days, I need to get him back into the eye doctor and see if they can tell if he needs glasses. Everything is just a little trickier for a special needs kid - he won't be able to tell them which direction the E if pointing, or what shape is on the pediatric eye chart. They'll have to do some tests and give it a best guess.

Anyway, it was Michael's idea for me to take his picture in "his" glasses :) I heart this kid a lot!

It's candle season at my house :) Candles make up for lack of sunshine
& make the grey days bearable.
