Bring Back to Consciousness

Some days are better left as sweet savored memories in my heart.  Those days I leave the camera at home and simply enjoy the time with my most prized possessions and keep those intimate moments between us.

Then there are the days I know I'll want to bring back to consciousness with tangible memories of the moments best described with images.  So as I prep to fill the pages of my photo album with captions that fill my heart, I look back on the week that's past and see that my life is full of bright, happy, and absolutely delicious moments that I would rather not go without.


Happily I've embraced the days that daddy has had to head off to work and make it a goal to know my daughter deeper.  Her every sigh and ever smirk leave an imprint of something so unique no soul can replace.  And as moments go by so quickly, I yearn to savor every little bit of her so that in the end I can leave her with the comfort that she is indeed all her own.

With each skip and giggle we've tackled the luxurious Victoria Gardens...





We lathered our bodies with sprinkled fairy dust and played hide-and-go-seek in the backyard...

And as we transition into yet another adventure in our lives, I have earnestly sought out the very me in the very ones I have learned to give myself away to.  For although my identity lies in no one else, the very depth of who I am I freely give to them.  I have seen in their hearts the pieces of me that they've received with a cheerful spirit and it makes my job, my duty, and my very passion as his wife and her mother, all the more worth it!

  1. the pics at the beach are SO gorgeous!! Love the one of you and your hubs. DEF. a priceless capture!! Your daughter is like a doll so dainty and feminine in her detail. I really do think our children are our closest experience to Heaven in so many ways aside from the Earth itself. Our children are so fragile yet strong, needing so much of our guidance and yet always wanting to stretch their own wings. MMMM, being a mom is the best isn't it! I miss that CA coast and those mountains. Hey, when I go visit my family next in SO cal we might need to try and get together;0

  5. your daughter is simply delicious! Lovely photos. I just read your Mother's Day post - I too lost a baby earlier this year. Truly the most horrible experience I've been through. Praise God for His promise - blessed are those who mourn for they WILL be comforted!
