Spending time with my camera is a sure-fire way for me to clear my head. My boys were busy, but Lena was mad at them. Awhile ago, I saw a little trick on Pinterest– throw a blanket in the dryer for a few minutes, then, when it’s toasty warm, wrap your kid in it and take them outside for pictures. It was a good day to try it.

Super easy, but not quite what I was going for.

A little bit later, I decided to try again. I grabbed the rushnyk that Andrei gave us.

Cute, but still not quite what I was going for. The headband seems a bit out of place.

We also had the big brother and the warm blanket with us.
