FAMILY x 12 Blog Hop - May 2013

Hello! And welcome to the May FAMILY x 12 Blog Hop. We are a group of bloggers who are committed to taking one photo a month of our families. For accountability & inspiration, we share them during our monthly blog hop. This project was originally inspired by Tara Whitney. If you'd like to join us, please send me an email (link on my blog sidebar).

We have a lot of family photos this month!

We started our month off with a very special occasion. Our youngest son received his First Holy Communion! We all posed in front of this pretty wall right after the ceremony - all of us in our best clothes! I don't think we've ever all looked so nice since the boys were babies & toddlers!

Then, we went camping...

French toast for lunch cooked over a camp fire. We were meant to have it for breakfast, but because we spent the previous night in a hotel (I got sick) our meal was delayed.

We balanced the camera on one of the fence posts for this one amongst the giant Sequoias.

Another meal time timer photo - this time chicken & dinner biscuits all cooked in (and on) our cast iron dutch oven (also pictured in the photo).

A crazy photo taken at the base of a Giant Sequoia tree during our hike on the last day of our trip.

We ended the day's hike with this incredible view just before we took the lovely drive back home.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't miss any of the other inspiration at the rest of the blogs. Next on the hop is Ruth.

Love this idea of capturing a family photo each month. However, all members of my family are resistant to being photographed at this stage in life... What a great set of photos to look back on though.

Lovely photos Margie. I’ve got a very similar photo of my family after my first holy communion in all our best clothes.
Great idea to purposely take more photos of your family. I’m sure you’ll cherish them for years to come.
