This challenge was interesting.
I spent a lot of time wandering around my house wondering what "things" I really loved.
I have a lot of stuff, maybe too much stuff, but the things that truly make me smile are these people.
All four of them! Love them all.
I also happen to love these portraits that I had done of them a couple of years ago by an amazing artist.
(It's only the angle of the picture that makes one child look bigger than the other.)
Another great love... my books!
My piano!
I don't play, but my children do and they do it well.
I love hearing them practice or just goof around on it.
And again... the kids.
I love the look of concentration on her face as she begins her painting.

I also really love my husband...

Great shots! Love the drawings! Thanks for your comments, also. :)
i love them too!!!
Gorgeous as always! Love the piano especially!
I'm hoping my daughter will play my piano...as I don't.
Love the art in your home... including the look of concentration. ;) Love the piano pic.
The drawings are beautiful!
And I'm a sap for books... I love to get lost in them.
I always wanted a close up of those pictures- thanks, great shots :) And AMEN to books- I put them in my Capture too- love 'em!
Love the drawings... sweet shot of your daughter painting.
Lovely shots!
What lovely captures! Those drawings are amazing, and your books are so inviting!
Great shots! Those portraits are great and I love the look of concentration on your daughter's face.
I love what you picked, and I know I would have a hard time choosing too. There are so many things we're attached to.
The "you capture" sounds like a lovely challenge, I'll keep it in mind.
Those sketches are wonderful!! very nice pictures!
I love your books too! Great drawing of the kiddos!
Thanks, everybody!! I wish I could point you to the artist's website, but he doesn't have one. However, if anyone is in the Maryland area in August, he should be working at the Montgomery County fair. His name is Jay.
I love the portraits - amazing!
I love the sound of the piano, wish I could play. You're very fortunate that your children can play.
The portraits are lovely! I also love the stacks of books. They look very well loved :)
Nice pictures, and great things to love :) Also like how you worded in your "About you", that you and your camera see things differently, and occasionally agree - cute and so very true with cameras!! Great work.
I really enjoyed your photos! I love the portraits.
We share a love of books! I enjoyed your pictures -- my favorie is the one with your daughter painting in intense concentration!
Thanks for stopping by Graceful today...
Ahh, I remember some of those books hanging around the house! Julia is so cute! Dan too!
Those portraits are AMAZING!! What a beautiful idea.
And your piano makes me wish I had one so bad. I used to play as a teenager and I want to start again... Love the photo too!
Those portraits are fantastic! I love that they're drawn, and not painted. They have wonderful spirit to them. =)
Great drawings of your kids! Your book shots turned out great - looks like we have some things in common, books, piano, kid art - all faves at our house.
Great post and such a fun theme too and I think I will use this theme for next weeks photos!
Hey Colleen, I just participated in my first "You Capture" too!! I was just checking out some of the links, and when I saw the name "Colleen" I clicked on it and wondered if it was my friend Colleen! And it was you! :) It made me smile. I love your pics!!
