I took some time away.
Recharging.
Taking my camera out of “auto.”
Taking my child out of doors.
Remembering how exciting a new adventure can be.
Following her joy with my own.
Matching her wonder at what she sees there, with my wonder at what I see here.
Melting, in imperceptible degrees of meltiness, at the knowledge that she? She loves her Daddy like I love mine.
Reflecting on how it is that two people are the very light and the air in my world.
Being thankful for the moments.
When I can breathe them in.
And just . . . soak up their rays.






SWEEEEEET!!! What priceless pictures of all of you!!! I’m so glad you got away for some R & R with your sweet family. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and treasures!
what beautiful memories!
What beautiful and priceless pictures. I am so glad that you took a break
and enjoyed your family.
Yay! You made it to Sea World! Hope you guys had a great time. You loved feeding the dolphins… admit it.
I confess!
And I also loved sitting in the Shamu splash zone with two little kids giggling and shrieking in anticipation of a soaking that ending up being a sprinkling but sounded, in their retelling, like a torrential downpour.
her hand placed gently on his arm? omg sweet picture!
