as good as it gets

Such a beautiful day - a totally do-nothing kind of Saturday. Sitting with Isaiah on the deck in the warm Spring sunshine, watching the wrens hopping about the yard, listening to birds squabbling in the trees, eating oranges. This is what it's all about. And the pure intensity of this moment that will never come again hit me with such gut-twisting force that I almost cried out. So I grabbed the camera and just snapped as we sat there, nothing posed, just the extraodinarily ordinary everyday moments that I want to hold onto forever.

making memories. just living and loving. this really is as good as it gets.
