Yesterday was the BIG DAY. Dad's 80th Birthday Bash! Oh what a night! Its been such a big day, night, weekend, etc., that I am spent, in a completely satisfied deep down way. So I need time to reflect, to process and catch up with all the "moments," because there were so many of them and I have hardly had the time to begin to sift through them.
So in the meantime, I'll share with you the other great joy that has come into my life. The girls and I have been settling into somewhat of a routine. One of our favorite things to do is go for long walks in the stroller. I bring the camera, some snacks, some drinks, and we head off to on the bike path to one of our 3 parks. Little L is content to sit in the stroller and snooze or I hold her while we watch E run like crazy on and over and under the playground. She is quite adept at the slides and swings and has little fear of anything. You can tell she is an "outside" kid, and I love seeing her through the lens as she wonders at each new discovery she encounters. Such a lucky girl. Truly I am.
I had to include this one. For no discernible reason I like it in a purely creative way.
Such amazingly beautiful shots Vicky! You make the ordinary look outstanding! If you were to click my pictures, I could become modelling material :D Kidding!
ReplyDeleteBy the way the girls look like angelic dolls. Hugs and kisses to them :-)
I can completely related to that feeling of so many happy memories to absorb and savor. A lot of me time and lots of preserving for eternity would enhance the flavor all the more. I really wish your dad a happy, stress free and pain free life. Loads of love, and strength to your family :)
Vicky.....You captured the colors of your world...beautifully.
ReplyDeleteSplendid photographs of love all around you. The girls are beautiful...the flowers add the perfect touch.
I'm so happy that your Dad's birthday was a success...and my heart is happy this morning. Thank you for sharing....beautiful...absolutely beautiful!!

Vicky: What fabulous shots! I love the first and the third - and the little girls are darling. Isn't it wonderful when we embrace life just as it presents itself to us? You give us all a great example of how to do just that.
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable girls! I loved your last line where you say such a lucky girl...I was thinking it would be the little one swinging and enjoying life. But no, it is you! So touching...
ReplyDeleteTranquility, thanks for all of your sweet words. You are so genuine and sincere, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteJackie, thank you, I am filled with gratitude for all of your kindness :)
Robin, the girls made it all so easy :) I couldn't ask for cuter and more fun little girls. I can't sleep and I am staring at frost out my window, brr, changes are coming quick!
Bonnie, awww, thanks. It was my one-word challenge... my word was intention... and its working I think :)
Alicia, the girls are a treat, I am enjoying them so much! That coupled with my dad getting such special treatment couldn't make me any happier.
Vicky, I am so glad that your dad's party was everything you wanted it to be. I hope you post about it when you have processed all your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThe girls are very cute and it looks like you are settling in with ease.

The orange flower - I don't know it, but doesn't it look like coloured egg noodles in a fist full...
