Okay, I’m late to I Should Be Folding Laundry’s You Capture blog party. So, what’s new? And I may be sent home from the party because technically Matt captured this picture and not me, it is called You Capture, but oh well, right?
I realized I’m always about being real, this is not new, but when I looked back at those loose-tooth pictures of MyMiddlest, I saw me. Also not new - my hubby takes pictures of me quite frequently. What is new is that I would show you an unedited, unposed, full color picture of me. With no make up. Not ready to leave the house. And I normally abhor pictures like that. But this one struck me.
Because I’m smiling. And I look happy. Because I was happy. And it doesn’t seem as though I am that enough lately. The weather was beautiful and all that tooth pulling was cracking me up.
So that’s me. Up there, not all dolled up. Just me. In real life. Now the true challenge is to capture that joy and pour it out much more often.
But you’re so pretty! That really is a great picture.
You look mahvalous!
Absolutely mahvalous, Darling.
I mean really … you look mahvalous!
Lovely picture…moments like those are the best!
Love it! You look beautiful and, like you said, happy.
Beautiful!
From the outside one looks at a picture like that and thinks what’s NOT to be happy about?? You are sitting outside on a beautiful day with a sleeping baby on your chest, enjoying your children and husband.
But when you LIVE it… there is supper to cook and laundry to wash and dishes to do kids that are cranky and mom that is cranky and school to get done and and and…
Thanks for the reminder to just BE, and BE happy while I’m at it.
I love your picture and I love your day! It looks like you are supremely happy!
I’m happy that you’re happy!! =)
