Essence of Now (May 18, 2012)

This is the next in my series The Essence of Now, a photograph-based series looking at what’s going on in our lives.

Did you know you can catch raindrops as they fall off the leaves?

She loves her Exercauser. Normally she chews on it because she’s teething. Her first tooth arrived last weekend.

Derek Jeter came to “demo” my kids’ bathroom when a minor home improvement project turned major. Fortunately, he wore his safety glasses.

My children gave me a wonderful Mother’s Day.

She can’t take her eyes off him. And he refuses to consider the possibility that she might not be in his class for swim lessons. Seeing their love unfold is magic.

What’s going on in your home?

    Beautiful photos. I MUST learn to use my camera.

    Don’t you just love that sibling love. It melts my heart. The screaming and fighting over toys I could do without, but the hugs and kisses are the best thing ever.
