“My precious little baby I have loved you from the start You are a tiny miracle Laying closely to my heart Each day I feel your presence Each day you heart beats softly As only I could know So I’ll keep this in a special place And remember each year through Of this very special time in my life The moment I carried you”

In summer, the song sings itself.

~William Carlos Williams

Easter is always fun for the kids! This year we got to coloring eggs a bit late but better late than never! My son was really missing his buddy Aaron this year…One of our best Easters was when Aaron came over and helped color eggs! We really miss him and had lots of memories of him to keep us smiling this year….Great times with family and good friends!

My son wrote this on the computer, before we started coloring eggs…..

This is my my typical Saturday! The little things you never think to capture that mean the most….I love the comfort of knowing hubby is in the garage doing what he loves to do…..He has made breakfast for the kids and headed out to work on his bike, his friends bike, or anything that pertains to bikes! My kids are on the computer, playing, eating, leaving things all over the house….I’m usually running around trying to clean up the messes….This Saturday I decided that instead of cleaning up, I would capture the day….As a photographer I judge my photographs to the point of missing the moment…I have promised myself to not do that anymore….To capture the crazy, the quiet, the silly, the magical times that I see around my home and in my kids everyday! No matter what the surroundings look like, if they have dirt on their face, if the house is dirty or the picture is out of focus….The memories will be ones that my kids will one day cherish and look back on with joy…..

Beauty is the shadow of God on the universe.
