Starting off August Right!

{In Love with Little Lovely}

Hope

Lights of my life.

Husband + bebe + pups. There are others of course, but today these are the few that are on my mind.

This life is fickle and fleeting. My work is a three day a week reminder of this sobering fact. I need to aim more love and happiness at the above mentioned people (and animals).

And apparently.....

Little Lovely takes being a quarter Mexican pretty seriously. She insisted on wearing her Mexican Fiesta Dress to her first ever family reunion.

{She was obviously pleased with her apparent Mexicanity}

However, a short thirty minutes later she became overly aware of the inherent itchiness of her par-tay attire and let everyone at the park know that she would much prefer the comfort of her onzie and snuggle blanket.

  {I love that she smiles with her eyes}

Another item of interest. Everyone, Esperanza. Esperanza, everyone.

Also known as Hope, for those of us in the family who are a little rusty with our Spanish.

{Life is Good}

Following in Momma's Footsteps.

Okay, so no political correctness should be applied to the following reminiscence. When I was younger, much younger, I thought that women had hips (compared to the lack of male curves) so that she could have a child resting on them. This makes me laugh now that I use my hip for that very purpose.

I had no idea that I would end up a nurse.
But here are my Little Lovely's footsteps. 

Also, I was trying so hard to get Lovely to laugh -half the time she did NOT think I was funny.

{I'm so lucky I get to practice my novice photography skills on this little pumpkin, even if she doesn't always think I'm funny}
