{Lucky Seven} Minneapolis, MN Senimental Mom Post

My blog often teeters on being Hallmarky enough but today she is seven. For the last seven years I have loved, learned, cried, laughed, and grown more than I could have ever imagined that -28 January degree day the doctor put her in my arms. At a tiny 6lbs she was a stranger that I knew only threw small jabs to the ribs and then big kicks to the butt those long 9 months. I remember it like yesterday. I was terrified, ecstatic, tired, full of love, anxious and realized at that moment the magnitude of what happened to me...us... .
A lot of days are still like above.
For both of us.
I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Happy Birthday to my dear lady whose growing into herself so magically....
Slow down for me
Because I didn't and sometimes still don't believe older moms and dads who tell me
It goes too fast...

{Awake, Aware} Savage, MN Baby Photographer

As a photographer I am drawn to eyes. They are a reflection back to me. Even at a few weeks old, crossed eyed and new. Eyes. The gateway to the soul.

What I know for sure

"Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him or her learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him or her
the light which is called intelligence."
-Maria Montessori
