bonus kids – Living, Loving, Laughing….

Apparently, the linky last night on iHeartfaces had a technical issues as well, else it opened just for me, and my entry today. Either way, I am able to enter my photo.

Annnnnd??? My WordPress is working. Yeah!

This photo was taken on a ferry-boat when we visited Houston Thanksgiving.

I love the tenderness and care Jason always shows his children. It was one of the first things I noticed about him. It really sealed the deal for me. I am a sucker for a sensitive, caring man who loves his children. His love is always so obvious and I am glad to have captured a smidge of it. This is absolutely one of my favorite photographs.

A Facebook tag from my friend, editor, and writer – Elizabeth Irwin.

I hope you don’t mind I brought it to WordPress. It’s actually just the kind of thing I need tonight after a busy weekend that has left me a fuzzy brain and a very sore body.
