A Photo

Most photos carry with them an entire story.  Most are special just to one or two people.  I think that this picture I am posting is beautiful.  It probably isn't a show-stopper to anyone but me.  But, I just want to include it here on my blog/journal as one of my favorite photos of all time.

On Memorial Day, as you could not have missed it, we spent the day at the hospital with our daughter Erika.  She was in labor most of that time.  She gave birth to our sweet little El.  .  There was a lot of hustle and bustle all day and our darling photographer, Mandi Taylor, who Erika and Tyler asked to come and photograph "the baby story" (it's the latest in the baby world) was able to capture this quiet little moment.

I love it.  I loved watching my babies sleep.  I loved watching them sleep as toddlers.  Nothing has changed.  I love the beautiful, peaceful aura around the sleeper.  Thanks, Mandi, for having such a great eye to catch those sweet moments.

So much ahead of her.  She will make an amazing mother.
