Sure the love is sometimes a little squashed and messy. But whose isn't?!
The birthday ended in meanness, correction, glares, tears, humbleness, apologies, forgiveness and a teachable moment. What a good day! It really was...this isn't sarcasm.
I guess we are entering those years...seems like we have been there for quite some time. Lord help me...help me to be a good teacher and help me to be able to admit when I am wrong (which happens occasionally, too)!
Happy that each day we get to start fresh...a do over.
A wonderful portrait with such a happy expression. You have to have those rough years to appreciate the good ones. Someday you will look back on it and remember mostly the good things
I love your commentaries almost as much as your images Amanda. Lovely. And how nice to share that things aren't always as perfect as we want them to be. Beautiful image of your girl.
