how is this happening? no, really. how is it possible that this is happening?

SOMEONE'S growing up, and fast! and someone takes after his mama and likes to take self portraits. ;)

even though my camera is certainly, most definitely NOT a toy, when a small and very cute boy asks me sweetly if he can "go around the yard and take pictures of myself?", i say yes without any hesitation. and then, weeks later, when i upload these pictures to the computer and go through them, i sit there shaking my head, wondering HOW on earth my little boy is growing up so fast. he has this hysterical "magnum" model look in most of his pictures that make him look so o.l.d.

i am the luckiest that i got blessed with this boy----so sweet, so simple, so dedicated to capturing a moment in time.

blessed mother

i am so blessed
to be the mother
of three beautiful, healthy children
who are my guides
and teachers
now and always.



happy mother's day! xx
