joy seeker (april)
april 14, 2012
When I think about this day we had with Grandma and Grandpa on Lake Superior, I can still hear your laughter. Actually, you would probably be happy to play on this beach every day, learning more about the ways sand moves when you sink different rocks and sticks and other bits found on the beach into it. And then Grandma taught you how to throw rocks into the water. The look of absolute delight on your face each time you discovered something new was contagious. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much with Grandma. Thank you for sharing your joyful light with all of us. (I am so lucky to know you.)

totally in love with each and every little morsel of this.
OMG! Wicked CUTE! You should frame this one!
Her intense focus and her little hands in the midst of discovery--priceless! It's all so beautiful, this life, isn't it? (And those boots! *love*)
oh the joy of seeing the world all over again through the eyes of a child!
