This past winter, my dad tackled a huge project: scanning old photos and slides and organizing them as computer files for distribution to various members of the family. Recently he handed me a disc with pictures from my childhood - wow. What a treasure! I had so much fun looking through the pictures, and I hope to post more of them in the future. Of course, just looking at the pictures makes me want to write all about them: the events depicted therein, my feelings on that particular occasion, etc. I'm reminded again that there's nothing quite like a picture to capture a moment.
Like this moment...
...my mother holding me as a newborn.As I await the imminent birth of my own dear daughter, I am savoring these pictures, celebrating the cycle of life, and giving thanks for the love that has surrounded me from birth--the same love I am so eager to pour out on my daughter!
Wow! You do look a lot like your mom!

You and your mother look so much alike! What a blessing to have these photos to look back on. I love it.

There's no doubt that we begin to see our own mums in a new light when we have kids of our own.
