Life is Beautiful

>




Capturing the moments in life that are the most important, even if they are the least transforming, is what I am constantly trying to do. Trying to freeze a snapshot of every single amazing thing my kids do, expression they make, or emotion they stir in me is my constant and enduring desire. I don't write a single amazing thing down. Just try to log it in my memory and hope it never leaves or fades. That proves harder than it sounds. These photos of tea-time and dress-up are just an effort to hold on to one moment out of hundreds that arrests my heart on a daily basis. They are proof that life is indeed beautiful.

Holland and Paris








So its only taken 8 months (really?? 8 months already???) but I've finally decided to blog some pictures of my trip to Holland and Paris. Thanks to my amazing Dutch friends I was able to travel around to some beautiful places. I had a total God-moment when I stood in front of the tulip fields in North Holland for the first time when they were fully in bloom. Really, it was one of my dreams to do that, and I was blessed enough to see it fulfilled. Kind of surreal to see the Eiffel Tower in person as well.
