Photo Friday is not about picture quality, it's about picture content. I hope to be able to include photos that others have taken in the coming weeks, where the quality is as good as the content. But in the meantime, don't focus on if the picture is in focus, if the lighting is right, or if it's a little off center. Focus on the subjects, the intent, the story and the emotion. If you've got a photo to share, please let me know!

Nine months is a long time to wait when you're an expectant parent. But when you're only two years old and you're waiting for you new baby sister? Might as well be forever. My husband took this picture of my daughters and me during their first meeting. Jessica was 15 hours old, Rachel was 2 months shy of turning three. This photograph doesn't do it justice, though. Jessica had her eyes wide open, presumable planning how to get her hands on Rachel's head of curly red hair. Rachel just smiled and smiled and stared and stared at "her" new baby... the one she'd waited for, planned for, and loved in a heartbeat.
If you're a parent, you probably have a memory just like this one. Whether you captured it on film or not, you can relate to this first introduction, this first look, this first love. For this moment, the rest of the world melts away, nothing else matters, you have everything in the entire world that you could ever want or need. It's a perfect, pure, unconditional moment, one that you want to hold on to forever. It doesn't matter what's going on outside the walls of the room that you're in, it only matters that you are a family, and that you are forever.
This photograph, this is my perfect moment. What's yours?
~*~*~ May you always remember to dance in the rain, and may you have plenty of ladybugs beside you! ~*~*~
