3/52: Shades of Grey

When I read about this week's Project 52 theme, I knew the gallery would be full of black and white conversions, and I wanted to do something a little different.

While I pondered, I toyed with the new "love locket" hanging around my neck.  Here it lies open atop one of my favorite frames --the first photo of my girls together when Moo was just a few hours old.  

While I am so over the selective coloring fad (you wouldn't know it by the ginormous wedding portrait hanging in our bedroom, forever tainted with a hand-painted bouquet!), I liked the hint of color from their birthstones contrasted with the silver necklace and b/w photo.


Almost 2 years later, Charlotte still squeezes her that tight...except now Molly's a bit more vocal in her response :)
