Black & White Wednesday Once Again

In their eyes..........

~ I see dozens of multi-hued sunsets, both here & in far away lands......

~ I see the innocence & joy of childhood......

~ I see beauty in even the smallest of moments.....

In their eyes, I witness the miracle of God each day.



The top photograph is one I've cherished for some time. Lauren's eyes are so expressive and the quote, " eyes are truly the window to the soul" seem to resonate so readily within those peepers. They also reflect so clearly her beautiful, diverse and blended Kazakhstani heritage.
And our sweet boy, whose eyes always seem to hold a moment of laughter or barely suppressed mischievous glee ~ you have to peek carefully to see his eye peering out from behind the tiger and I almost missed it myself the first time! In fact at first glance I thought this photo (taken the day before the CNY) was a miss......I'm so tickled I looked a bit closer!
Happy Wednesday my friends! Wanna play along? Join us at Lisa's Black & White Wednesdays at The Long Road to China.

First of all, the photo you have of your children in the About Me section of the blog is just stunning. Amazing shot!!!

I LOVE the second shot. You nailed it with the comment about the mischievous look. Both the picture and your son are just daring.

Oh what a great idea..."In Their Eyes..."! I must say I love both B&W photos! And yes I too agree you can truly see a whole different world through your child's eyes...

Loving This Post!!!!

I love eyes and my heart would melt if those peepers were looking at me everyday. Definitely hard to say, "no" sometimes, I bet!

Beautiful post of your beauties!

Love both of the pictures but that first one is so very special : )

Christine @ 12,450miles said...

Oh wow!! I love both shots! Mostly because (from what I've gathered in the past months of reading your blog), they *exactly* reflect the personality of each child. Definitely a case of the child driving the image and not the other way around...

Sigh. I just heart these photos!

Jodee said...

I love these black and white pictures! Your kids are just adorable!

Wanda said...

Lisa - these are wonderful pictures. I love how you write what you feel when you see your children. Pure poetry, my friend.

You should frame both of these shots. They're wonderful. The flower hiding Lauren's face except for her eyes is rivoting. Shows her eyes to the fullest. They're really gorgeous!

And the second. Well....it's just priceless. The similarity between the tiger's eye and Tyler's is remarkable. Hmmm......eye of the tiger?

Have a great week sweetie!

Beautiful photos! Your children are gorgeous. I read through some of your blog - do you have a link to your daugther's story? I would love to read about how she came into your family :)

Cheers from Australia!

Tezzie said...

Oh, those are beautiful pictures! I love the softness of the first one, and the playful gleam in the second one :D

Super Mommy said...

You have beautiful children! I love these photos, totally beautiful.

Tracy Ann said...

Beautiful photos and children!

Donna said...

I got my son a white tiger like that when he was 18 months old. We still have it over 20 years later!

Both of these photos are sweet!
