My rainbow

Between Franny and Cole's blogs, I know I've posted a variation of this same shot several times over the last few months. But with Cole changing so rapidly, each new set seems so different from the last. When I see pictures of Franny and Cole together, sometimes it's very different from experiencing the same situation first-hand. In real time, managing the two together takes so much focus, I frequently miss the reality taking place before me. Being able to later look back and see their love for each other, through these captured moments is both mesmerizing and overwhelming. It is then that I realize that those two amazing, little beings in the pictures are my children. And it is then that I regain my perspective and understand that while life can get difficult and frustrating, all that chaos is will eventually pass and be forgotten. In contrast, Franny and Cole are now and will always be a constant presence in my life. And when I slow down long enough, I realize that, with my family, I have everything that I could ever want or need. Those are the moments where I breath deeply, knowing I am truly experiencing the purest form of peace and thankfulness.


Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true.
