Orange Sky

I noticed this beautiful orange sky yesterday on our way back home and thought that I really need to pull over and have a few back-lit photos, then I remembered this empty space near our place and decided to take the kids there. Not the best location to capture the beautiful sky but good enough to let them run and be free while I shoot as much photos as I could (turned out to be more than a 100!!)

It was really. so. difficult. for me to pick the photos that I picked - really wanted to put them all on the blog!!

Ahmed is 4

"Come to me my love, stop crying. It's me, Mama. I love you so much" My first words to my handsome baby four years ago!

Couldn't sleep before sharing the photos!!

Portraits

Last week was extremely busy! I had the week off which was great to spend sometime with the boys <3 

It started off with the rainy weather and floods in some regions, I was worried that my husband wouldn't be able to come back from the oilfield, but he did :)

We enjoyed morning coffees out after dropping Ahmed to school - I really love to go out for breakfast and coffee!!!

Then it was my best friend's wedding!!

It was a busy week but my  camera kept snapping beautiful memories of my family, here are portraits of the boys. Black and white mood <3

Shooting Through Glass

This Month's CM blog circle's challenge was shooting through glass. For that I thought of recording the memory of this period of our lives, both my boys are eager to drive!

Ahmed keeps asking me about the functions of the gear, petrol and brake whereas Osama dreams of a moment on my lap before starting the car to EXPLORE!!!

Its crazy how boys are born with the love of cars and balls, So. Sweet!

Head over to Heather's blog for some aquarium fun!!

A Bedtime Story

"Once upon a time.. I had two little boys that insist to sleep on Mommy's bed every single night! I was trying really hard to make them sleep on their beds but it was too difficult on me because all I really wanted is to hug them both tightly and never let go <3

I worry about little Osama falling down while we are all asleep so I take him back to his bed when he's sleeping deeply. Any slight movement would wake him up and he'll just stand and start screaming while he is looking at me... Waiting for me to bring him back on my bed :D

He would hug big brother and try to wake him up so that they could play together in the middle of the night or early every morning."

A story that I will definitely tell my boys when they grow up and hope that I would tell it to their kids too!
