coming home...(Humboldt County Childrens Photographer)

I spent the weekend scrapping with the girls at a cabin in the woods. It was so nice to do those things you never get to do at home; drink a cup of tea while it was still hot, read some pages of a good book, stay in your jammies all day, to flip through the tattered pages of a great qoute book, to stay up way too late knowing that if you wanted too, you could sleep in in the morning. It sounds like the ultimate dream right? Well it was fabulous- but in real life, I missed my family soooo much. I thought about them and what they would be doing at home at that very moment. I called them and tried to get details about their day, or Kenzie's soccer game, or did they take their vitamin etc. They told me what was going on, but I still felt like I was missing something. It was so good to get away and relax, but it was even better to come home- to come home to a sink full of dishes, to come home to the kids fighting, to come home and find that I had 19 emails to return, to come home to the very life that I would pick for myself if I could pick any life in the world.

Above is a collage that I made with on of my all time favorite qoutes. I used the ecletic collection papers from the shabby shoppe. I will print as a 16x20 to hang above the bed to remind me what really makes me happy.
