love is all around

I had reason to go through a ton of old photographs recently (it's gotten to the point where I have no idea how many I have), and I realized that I hadn't done any of our rainy day self portraits in a while. So yesterday, even though it wasn't rainy, I grabbed Alex, my camera, and a mirror and we went outside.

This one is my favourite.

In other news, bless Irene's heart, she's pulled together the Love Is All Around website, featuring our favourite photographs you've all taken representing love in your lives. Be sure to check it out. The good news is now you don't have to wait until Thursday to express your love -- if the mood moves you, you can submit your photos anytime.

Love Thursday will continue to live on, however, so as always, please feel free to leave the links to your posts representing love in the comments below. Also, don't forget to upload your photos in the Love Thursday Flickr Pool -- our ranks grow in number, and the photos grow more and more beautiful.

May your day be filled with laughter and love.

The photos are all priceless, but I especially enjoy the second one. I can hear the peals of laughter all the way up here in North Carolina.

Beautiful. I love the toddler full-body laugh.

Oct 6 marks two important anniversaries of love in our house, so we're honoring them both today:

Damn, but I wish I had a Nikon. Truly incredible pictures, Karen.

I wish I had a little chookooloonk of my own to take pictures of.

How sweet. We're playing as well this week - http://lilduckduck.com/stop/305

Have a wonderful Thursday!

We spend so much time contemplating our love affairs with our little ones.. and not enough, I think, contemplating what we still treasure about our 'big one'.. a.k.a the hubby.

It was our anniversary recently, so here's my tribute to a man whom I make every effort to walk behind.. to have an opportunity to stare at his butt. After 12 years together, I think that's a pretty good barometer of happiness. :)
