corner view: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…

This was a worthwhile treasure hunt for me. I hadn’t kept all of these dear memoirs together. Something about seeing them together again and bathed in the light of our home made me tear up. Or, maybe that’s the something new I’m brewing under my heart. Either way what a lovely little trip back in time. I loved everything about our wedding, what a special day that we were fortunate to share with so many loved ones.

Sunday Still Life is an evolving photography project; a weekly invitation to pause the busy of our days, to re-center and celebrate the beauty and depth of life. If you are inspired to join in, please leave a link in Erin’s comments.

A sunny pause following breakfast out in the mountains with the family where the girls entertained themselves coloring. Zuzu learned to draw birds this morning. Lovey and I had a second cup of coffee. No one cried, threw food or launched their toys into a neighboring table. As still as life can be with spirited small ones. Bliss indeed

corner view: dream

My dream right now is both big and small. Both ordinary and extraordinary. For the present and the future.  I am currently feathering my nest in happy anticipation of a new little bird joining us next spring. Lovey and I made the decision earlier this summer to grow our family and we are currently tickled pink with anticipation and expectation. I’m well into my second trimester now and happily keeping my food down, which is a welcome change from previous gestations. I feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to do this again.

My dream right now is a subliminal message I keep running through my head and heart that all will be well and easy. That we’ve faced the challenges that previous pregnancies have given us and shown ourselves worthy of one more chance. One more little bundle of joy and hope and goodness and light. A gift this pregnancy is. When I’m resting my mind is full of dreams of my three girls running and playing together, laughing and hugging. One more little pal to fill our hearts and home with the love and connection we already know.

Thank goodness!

December 2005- although it could be any of our happy years since 1997...

 Thankfully, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Thank  you for being the constant light, love, adventure and journey of my life. Happy 11th Anniversary dear Lovey!

sunday still life

Lovey had a mid-week birthday this year. Our invitation for celebration was met with friends, frosting and frolicking. While the cake started out pure and simply buttermilk chocolate goodness with a simple birthday blessing iced in, the children plucked their current icons from the toybox and lovingly thrust them into the smooth chocolate frosting. Surely an attempt to remind Lovey he’ll always be a kid at heart. The sweetness in Zuzu’s excitement at another’s birthday is such a warm reminder of what a kind heart that kid of ours has. We are so blessed.

Sunday Still Life is an evolving photo project started by Erin. It’s an invitation to explore the beauty and depth of life through traditional still life composition and / or photos and words to evoke inner stillness and reflection. If you feel so inspired, join in! Erin is on a cyber-vacation for the month of August and I’ll be hosting Sunday Still Life. After you post yours, stop by here and leave a link so we can all come visiting.

 Keep it slow. Keep it simple.
