Oh week 17, I so don't want April to end. I want to luxuriate a bit more in this slow paced spring. May means June, June means Summer and I am not quite ready for Summer yet(boys on holiday)...yet perhaps its that I want to be on holiday, just not with the boys.
+The youngest tromping through the heated grass on a hot afternoon hike.
+The oldest using sweet Bella-dog as a pillow. She adores him for this.
+Sweet middle, growing up, smiling big.
I cheated a bit this week with the boys' portraits. These are photos from last weekend and one of them I already used in the blog...sigh. However I didn't want to miss a week so here they are. Little records of time marked out on this universe of a web. Hope you don't mind too much.
from last week//blog love:
+this sweet 3yo imitating life and her smiling baby brother.
+these last lingering cuddles before new baby arrives.
+look at this cute face!
+these beautiful girls. -also here is their mom's very helpful post on the language of DSLR cameras. It is wonderful!
+and this adorable one. she is pulling such a face! -her mom is running an intro e-course on photography which you might like to check out as well.
hope you all are well.

PS. I am really frustrated with my blog design. I want my text to align with my photos and I have no idea how to do this. Do you know how to do this? Any suggestions to the layout of things? Do you design your own template or have you purchased one? Curious, and any feedback would be appreciated.
gorgeous, that top shot is perfection! i think you would need to go into your template and edit the code so your text space is the same width as your pictures. Or find out what your text space width is and edit your pictures to the same width and then post them as 'original size'. just not sure of the section of code that tells you text width. that's my best guess xxx
ReplyDeletethanks so much Jane! xo
Deletefound this....are there any clues here? xxxxx http://paperheartcamera.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/tutorial-how-to-widen-your-photog-blog.html
ReplyDeleteOh I so appreciate you looking around for me. xo
DeleteI love that the three photos are all very different - I'm longing to walk in long grass now!
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much! Long walks in the grass are the best. xo
DeleteGood for you ... you managed to get all three boys ... and I don't think it matters if you've used a picture before or if it was taken last weekend. There are weeks when I'm so frustrated I'm tempted to use one from last year ;0)
ReplyDeleteMy blog uses the most basic of Blogger templates ... I would love to improve the look ... but if I start playing around I'm likely to lose the whole thing.

It is not too hard to play around with it. And there are great templates on Etsy to purchase, I think I am just really picky and so want it to look a certain way with out having to send any money. Thanks for your sweet note!

Hi. Rebecca, I'm new here, just popped over from Jodi's blog as that top picture jumped out of the page at me. Just gorgeous! Lovely blog :-) I've also been wondering how to align my text with the photos.....has been driving me nuts so thanks to you and the commenters above for the tips.... Mel x
ReplyDeleteHi Mel! I am so glad you like the photo of my youngest. It is my favorite by far.
DeleteI still have not figured out how to do it. I have tried CSS, jumping into my HTML etc. I have googled it a million times (or so it seems).
I think I am going to have to consult a professional (gulp) just not sure when. xo
That first shot is particularly gorgeous, you can almost feel the heat and sunshine radiating from the screen :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Laura! It was a HOT hike last weekend. I think I am still woozy from it.

Love love love your boy and dog photo. Such perfect happiness, I long for the day when my boy can do this with our two dogs
ReplyDeleteOh all three of my boys have such a love for our dogs! I am so glad you like that one. I am sure it will happen for your son sooner than you think! xo
DeleteThe shots of your boys are wonderful. The color, light and location of that top shot... love it all.
ReplyDeleteI am looking to redesign my little space in blogland. I have done it a wee bit but it makes me nervous to mess with code... I really need to dive in.
Happy Sunday!
Thanks so much Dawn! I am more at ease dealing with the HTML code than ever before but I still can't figure out the few last things I want to do with my space. xo
DeleteYour blog/ photography is completely beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Wendy. Thank you ever so much! Having just found your beautiful blog, this is a cup of joy compliment. xo

Hi Rebecca, I love your blog, photos and words... Beautifully written. I love your photos of your middle boy. So sweet xx
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah! Thanks so much! So appreciate you visiting. Oh that middle one can be a charmer when he wants to be. xxoo
DeleteThese are all great shots, but the first is extra-special. x
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much! It seems that first one is everyone's favorite this week! I got several good shots of him in the grass when we were out hiking last weekend. He is on an imaginary adventure. xo
DeleteHi Rebecca. That shot of your youngest is sublime. It makes me nostalgic for childhood, so good. Belinda xx
ReplyDeleteThan you so so much Belinda. There is something precious watching those littles lost in their imagination whilst in nature. So happy you stopped by. xo
DeleteLove the pic's of those beautiful boys. Time sure is flying by.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness time IS flying and we so wish we were closer to you all. xo
DeleteHi Rebecca, I meant to comment on this post as I adore the portraits of your boys (particularly the middle one - reminds me SO much of my older boy, content in his own world). Your question about text alignment had me looking at my own blog and wondering the same thing, and since I didn't have the time to figure it out, I went to Yoga's site (http://www.southernspeakers.net/2012/02/maximize-post-width-in-blogger-dynamic.html) - he's a kind soul who helps EVERYONE with blog design issues. He even customized code for me, so please take a look at the bottom of the page at my/our question which hopefully will help you as well; if not, feel free to ask him, he's wonderful (and free! :)...
ReplyDeleteTHANKS so so so much Catherine! xo
DeleteThese are beautiful Rebecca the golden light in your first photo, the cuddle between your son and your dog and the gorgeous smile of your middle boy:) Thank you for choosing my photos as your favourites:) and for linking to my photo post too and congratulations on winning a place in Erin's course too how cool I bet you're going to have fun:) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Catherine! I loved your blog post! it was so great! AND I am so so excited to take Erin's course! hurrah! xo
