I Heart Faces: week 4

On Sunday we went to a Super Bowl party (what else?). And, at this party, I realized something. The Husband and I are the last childless couple anywhere. And by "anywhere" I, of course, mean of all the people we know. Or, at least, that's how it seems.

Luckily our friends have more than enough kids to keep people occupied and almost, almost, prevent them from asking when we're going to have children. A question that makes my hair hurt since, apparently, it's unheard of for a couple to be married for five years and not have any children. (Insert angry growl here.)

But I digress. The Husband's best friend and his wife have two of the cutest kids ever and my camera is glued to my face whenever I'm around them. However, I haven't been able to get very many pictures of their baby boy (born in October) since the last couple of times we've gotten together has been at night, in poor lighting, with several loud adults (including grandparents) battling to hold the baby.

Finally, on Sunday, I got my chance. I snapped as my photos as I could in the brief moment The Husband held him. And I loved almost every single picture. I knew I would use one for this week's I Heart Faces contest, but I struggled over which one. Just you look at these eyes, these cheeks, and then try to tell me you're not instantly in love.

Swoon.

And I chose to submit this photo of my boy, Luke, because it's always been one of my favorites. (See, who says I don't have kids?)

I took this photo of Luke about a year ago, when I still didn't really know what the hell I was doing with this camera. I love the light, his eyes and the fact that he's laying on our shoes (which he does regularly). And there in the background? His girlfriend sister, who kept trying to get my attention.

Now, go check out all the other gorgeous faces!
