Loved Deeply

I am linking up to Jeanne's "All Four Love" for the month of February.

It's about taking photos with a PURPOSE.

This week's theme is...

 {Loved Deeply}

(photos of the people in your life that you cherish). 

I have to admit, that I haven't taken many photos this week,

so I've gone to the archives for this project!

I have chosen to place the focus

on my daughter and my husband this week.

They are my life and are certainly cherished beyond belief.

(yes...even when they are driving me crazy!)

(I should apologize for the quality of some of the photos...

but like I said...ARCHIVES)

To participate in this February Photo Fun,

link up to "All Four Love" here.

Have a great weekend!

Feeling Nostalgic

Do you ever get Nostalgic?

I know everyone does...today is my day.

I was searching through photo files on my computer

(for a project that I'm working on)

and I came across a file of photos that my grandfather gave to me

before he passed away a few years ago.

The photos are of me when I was young(ER).

My grandfather AND my father were both pathological picture takers.

(My father still is and I have inherited that gene...among others.)

Everyone joked at my wedding about how there were SO many baby photos

of me

on our reception video and only a handful of my husband.

I guess I just assume that EVERYONE takes photos like crazy...

but I guess that's not the case.

I'm am very grateful to have all of these photographs to look back on...

To help me recall my childhood that

seems like yesterday, but yet, was so long ago.

I have to admit that I don't remember some of these "memories",

but I really enjoy having the photographs.

I take thousands of photos of my little girl every year.

My husband says I'm "camera crazy",

but I'm just following a long historical tradition of

being a pathological picture taker!

My daughter will have these photos

to look back on someday when SHE'S older.

She will have photographs to remind her

of the memories that she has forgotten about.

Photos of her with her grandparents and those who will no longer be with us.

I know that's a lifetime away...

but if I blink,

I know it will be here faster than I can imagine!

Most of us spend our entire adult life

WISHING

that we could go back to our childhood...

to relive some of the moments,

to be with the people who are no longer with us,

to capture the innocence,

to do things differently.

Treasure each day and each memory...

and

capture it in a photograph!
