It has been a cool spring and early summer.
Last year by this time,
I'd spent many mornings on the deck.
With so much rain and wind,
it's rare that I have a moment to myself on the deck.
I crave the quiet sometimes.
Just silence.
No tv, no fighting, no whining,
no
noise.
But somebody knows
my
hiding
place.
And my little "Tootsie Pop" came out
to find me . . .
packing her
Precious Moments Bible
her blankie,
classic Dale Jr. cap,
red flip-flops
and
loads
of
silliness.
Even early in the morning.
And so I shift gears
from quiet
to grabbing the camera
for some fleeting
cuteness.
I'm so glad to have found Jen and this group of ladies here:
Lots of inspirational blogs to check out!
I had to laugh...the joys of motherhood...and lack of quiet for quiet times. =) Some days it seems like my little man just wakes up early and won't stop talking...no quiet time.
ReplyDeleteLove your company though. =)
I enjoyed visiting with your little "Tootsie Pop" at the wedding. What a ray of sunshine...so sweet! I love how you capture those sweet moments.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious moment you captured, Jodi!!
ReplyDeleteIt is by God's grace that I shift gears from quiet to invite in the noisiness. Sometimes it's really hard. But then, who could resist that Tootsie Pop?
