we have a quiet moment … of playtime. he and i alone.
moments like these are few and far between as of late. mommy is often going to work or doing work … there are two sisters that steal the spotlight most days. there’s laundry and housework. organizing and talk of houses and the current home selling and buying markets. there’s phone calls and knocks at the door. all of that busy that comes in between these kind of days and mornings and moments.
it was quiet and peaceful. sweet and lovely. the sun was streaming in the windows and the world felt light. i pulled my camera out of it’s hiding place. and snapped a picture or two.
he says … “dere’s a dino-saur in dere, mama.”
oh yeah? i answered questioningly …
“I SEE IT! right dere!!!”
and he got closer and closer … blurrier and blurrier. until he was right up in the glass of my lens. squinting and looking … sure that he saw it.
i giggled and set aside my camera … he tumbled on me and tried his best to tickle me. i laughed. at the idea of he and i alone. peaceful and quiet. giggling and laughing. teasing and pretending. laughed at the lightness of time. and how sometimes this extension of my arm. and my eye. sits quietly tucked away. rarely capturing and remembering these moments. my moments.
*our* moments.
and it’s so funny … because these three little ones that hold my heart hostage are the sole reason why my life has taken this spin. i love what i’m doing … i love freezing time in the life of a little one. i’m completely smitten with the families that i’ve photographed. i pour my heart into your images. and then feel disinclined to capture my own.
(i’m not even sure that disinclined is a word.)
so, i guess that’s just what i was stopping in to tell you. i’m sorry i’ve been such a neglectful blogger as of late. thank you thank you thank you for supporting me in this grand adventure.
and thank you for letting me share a little piece of me. and mine.
