Today was filled with goodness. Good little details that make up life. A simple day, with good moments. I love days like this. I am thankful for them.
We woke up to Teagan talking to himself, happy little babble. So cute. I love the sounds coming through the monitor. The children actually napped. Not at the same time, but they both got sleep, I cannot complain about that. I had an amazing meeting with some people who could have a huge and awesome impact on my business. My mind is full with ideas and opportunity. Opportunity is such a great thing. I am thankful for wonderful clients who continue to share themselves with me, long after their portraits have been delivered. I love the way Teagan sports his evil little laugh while wearing his sister’s pink frilly hat. And the way Taryn will sit and read and giggle to herself with her own thoughts on the couch. And the way Ty chases Teagan through the house saying “I’m gonna get you” and the sound of their feet hitting the tile. And the way my husband insists on trying to grow a mustache one every couple of years, it’s that time again and it brings me to giggles every time I look at him. And another little thing, we finally got some paint up in our kitchen. I am undecided about the color, not sure if it is “us”. But it’s not blah builder beige, and I know that isn’t us. The jury is still out, we’ll see if it’s a keeper. After lots and lots of paint samples over the last 18 months, I sure hope so.
And now I’m off to embrace our wild evening routine of cleaning up after dinner, bathing little kiddos, bedtime stories and snuggles good night. Goodness.
life is good.
sounds like a great day
It is good to take the time to appreciate the small precious moments in your day. Time passes so quickly… Before you know it, Ty will be off to college, Taryn out with friends and Teagan hanging in his room. And then… they are all gone to their independent lives and families of their own. Then it will be just you and Jase thinking back to the chaos of when your children were small. This is not meant to be a depressing comment. I am just glad that you enjoy “the moment”. I’m missing you tonite and the little girl you were only yesterday. I love you, Lynds.
It is so nice to take some time to just enjoy life. With how busy we are we totally forget about the little, good things sometimes. And it’s the little, good things that make up life. Thanks for the reminder.
ok. and now gee gee’s comment totally made me cry (in a, “oh, how these days get away from us” kind of way).
You capture life so beautifully with your images, but you also have a way with words. You are able to capture the essence and evoke a feeling in text alone. I imagine this ability to see beauty and help others see it too is what draws so many people to you. Thank you for sharing this perspective and reminding each of us to savor today and the many crazy routines we travel through.
my kind of day:)
