Today I took a day off to spend with my daughter. So often she hers me say that I am studying , or I am working, or I am always doing something. I think sometimes as adults we get caught up in our everyday to due list that we forget how to have fun anymore. So today I took my little girl sledding. Now if there is anything in this world that can make me feel like a child again its this. I do however remember getting back up the hill was not quite so exhausting . We climbed and sled down the hill for hours. Half way threw we had some hot chocolate in the snowbank. Grace was so excited to sit down and crack open the thermos we brought . A little picnic in the snow . As I sat there watching her smile with her chocolate mustache and little pink cheeks my heart melted. God himself gave me this little soul to watch over . Its my job to bring adventure to her life, to teach her . Though I think she has taught me far more than I have her. My daughter is very spiritual, she love Jesus with all her heart and soul. She is loving to everyone she meets and goes out of her way to help them. She sees the beauty in everything and everyone. If its raining outside in the spring .. to her its still a beautiful day... we just need to bring an umbrella. The heart of a child is so pure and unbroken. Perhaps that is why I love to photograph them. So that perhaps one day they can look back and these images and see what beauty they have forgotten....and remember a time when a simple cup of hot chocolate, a sled and your mom was all you ever could have wanted.
