I originally had another post scheduled for today, but I felt the urge to postpone it and just keep things simple for a minute. We quickly snapped these pictures with our phones before Robbie went back on tour after a short break at home. They're such perfect representations of our little family's life together right now. Essley is growing so quickly (everyone says that about their kid, but seriously you guys!), and the more time passes, the more I appreciate those moments when the three of us are together. There aren't a lot of them right now, but maybe that makes them all the more special. Between our crazy travels (for both our jobs and for leisure) over the years and our crazy lifestyle of the past (we sure knew how to party), I never thought I'd find the greatest pleasure of my life in sitting on the living room floor with my husband, watching a baby make silly faces at us, or, like these pictures show, just gazing into the eyes of our little girl. These simple moments have, quite powerfully, taken over to become the best moments. I treasure them so much.

DeleteI know: party days may be behind you (for now!), but the best reason to celebrate is probably snuggling with you right now :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't figure out how you had the energy to apply the fabulous smoky eye...am going to deduct that little E is a good sleeper :P
I wish! My husband was home that day and I had a business meeting. Make up and clothes that aren't pajamas are definitely a luxury these days! :)
DeleteAh. Makes me feel better. Well you look gorgeous, as usual :)
DeleteBlack and white photo's are my favourite and I love that flying photo!
ReplyDeleteI love these images. I think as we get older we learn that the simple times tend to be the best time. =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post...and what great pictures :)
