When I saw this week's category for the photo contest at iheartfaces I immediately knew which photo I wanted to use. This is one of my ALL TIME favorite photos. It is an old one--one I took more than three years ago. This is my middle child just before he turned a year old. We had gone to visit my brother in St. Louis when my baby came down sick--VERY sick--running a fever over 105 degrees! We even took him to the emergency room that evening. Several hours later they let us go telling us it was just a virus. Bless his heart! He was SO sick and felt horrible. The next morning he tried so hard to feel good and play. He played for a few minutes in the big down comforter of my brother's. The sunlight was beaming in from the bedroom window and thinking what a pretty picture it would make I grabbed my camera. I don't think I would have captured such a beautiful shot if he had been feeling 100%. He is rarely still enough to snap a picture, but feeling bad and having low energy allowed this beautiful shot. :) It will always be one of my favs!
