Rain, 10 months, shared her Kodak-moment snooshy face with us yesterday.  She started making this face when she wasn't crazy about something she ate, but she got enough laughs from it that she pretty much does it on command now.  8)

I took this picture during the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of festival ¨Sarajevo Winter.¨ In sub-zero temperatures, these girls didn't bother standing for hours, and they had fun. I just love the look in their eyes.

This picture is special to me because these girls are the best girls ever to know! I am a senior in high school, and I've grown up with these girls and they have become some of my closet friends! This picture was taken at one of our soccer games during a tournament over christmas break. I was injured at the time so I decided to take some shots of my team! This picture relates to the theme because it shows my most personal friends, girls I consider my family!

The love between a pet and child is so beneficial to us humans, showing us unconditional love teaching younger children responsibilities. This picture was taken in my bedroom, my daughter was upset that I wouldn't let her wear a skirt. When I came out of the shower she had fallen asleep like this with him , they slept for over a hour together just like this. Under the category Pets, well because he is our pet .

Every time my granddaughter comes to visit us she runs straight to the grapes in the garden.

This is a picture of my granddaughter as she is looking at her Uncle Mike's dog tags. It is special because both of ther parents are dear to me, and because Uncle Mike  served in Iraq. The picture was taken in my front yard.

It was taken in our backyard and was not planned. Our dog, Coakley, was looking through the fence at the neighbors and our daughter, Ella, wanted to see what was going on.

This is me dancing to some Bollywood tunes during my Wedding Reception in Lake Placid. After a long day of some traditional Indian Wedding Ceremony it was time to party!

This my Autistic son who has been terrified of water all his life. This year he has had one on one lessons to swim and this is the first time he has been on a beach and played in the sea. The picture is taken at Bude, UK where he played for hours. A very special milestone for all the family

Bestest moment with my son Atharva Jethlia...and beautifully captured by my husband..

It makes my heart melt every time I look back at it. This picture demonstrates how much dog and owner love each other. Hugs are most important in keeping the happiest relationships. The photo was taken in South Lake Tahoe, CA. The picture is of a pet, but also is a best friend forever.

This is a photo of 6 month old twin girls taken at their pediatrician's office. Mother looked down & saw this. Unbelievable how twins react to one another.

End of season fishing trip with my dad in High Sierras 

This is a picture of two brothers. They're wearing the Halloween costumes they proudly selected, on their own, with no help from their parents.

My Robby modeling his Halloween costume (2011). :)

I took this photo last Halloween as my kids were crossing the street to go Trick or Treat at this house. The house was the best in the neighborhood; it looked very spooky with the fake smoke all around it. 

This picture is of my 3 year old daughter Elladiss. It was taken while we were painting pumpkins for Halloween. At first I had done the typical Mom thing and spread out a bunch of newspaper to keep things neat. We were having so much fun that eventually both of us embraced the mess!

I love how comfortable these sisters are with one another. It was a beautiful moment to witness and capture!
