Warmth & Sunshine

This is one of those posts
that makes it seem
like our life here on Martha's Vineyard
is perfect.



That everyday
is filled with
warmth & sunshine.

We took these gorgeous photos

last Sunday.

The one day we've had
warmth & sunshine
in a long, long time.



I love warmth & sunshine.

I need warmth & sunshine.

As beautiful as this island is.
It has a serious lack of
warmth & sunshine.



At least in March.

And April.

And May.

And probably June.

So today I'll look at these photos.

 

And tomorrow I'll look at these photos.

And think...

there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

There has to be.

Or we're on a one way ticket to Florida.

Or California.

 

 

 

 

 

 I do love this Island.
But for now
we're on unspeaking terms.

What Are Little Girls Made Of?

I grew up in a house
with 5 girls.



This meant lots of make up, barbies, and dressing up.



It also meant playing olympic champions
on the uneven bars.
And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
on the jungle gym.
(I was always Michelangelo)

Girls are just fun.

They leap.
They twirl.
They spin.



They run.
They climb.
They play.



Girls can do anything.

They smile.
They tickle.
They laugh. 

They imagine.
They discover.
They admire.

Everything.

That's what little girls are made of. 

 

 Photos taken outside our church building.
Maybeline is playing with Larissa & Audrey,
my only 2 girls in Primary.
Yes I even bring my camera to church!
Luckily I bought it on assignment
And was able to catch a perfectly
candid spring afternoon.
Who doesn't love a fluffy, rich cherry blossom?

Mystery Macro Monday

Good question.

A Super Girl

Remember when
you felt like you could
conquer the world?



Be whatever you wanted to be.
Do whatever you wanted to do.

And you knew you could do it.

Anything.

Because that's what they said.

 Your mom, your teachers, your dad.
They all said it.

So you went out to do it.

Discovering.
Learning.

Becoming.

All that they knew you could be.

A super girl.



And that's what I am.

This was one of my most favorite days!
Maybeline loves wearing my superman cape
that my mom made me when I was in preschool.
She insisted she wear it on our walk...
with her baby in hand.
And my camera in mine.
I love my super girl.
