Well here it is time to write another blog. And here I sit the morning it is due. At this time I have not much to say and not many pictures to post. Life has been busy and sad enough pictures of my own family have been limited. Therefore that makes it a bit challenging to write a blog and post pics of my own family. So here I sit while the rest of my house is asleep (except for my big brown dog Clark who thinks he needs to be up so early in the morning with me). Nothing like a big slobbery Newfie kiss so early in the morning! Ha......

ANYWAY.....so I thought about it and decided the best solution to this is to blog, then photograph. A little different from how I would typically do it, but hey, different is good right. So I am going to make this post brief and to the point. Simple as that. So here it goes......

I love my girls. They are the two bright spots of my day no matter what the rest of the day may bring. From the time they get out of bed, to the time they go to bed at night, you never know what the day is going to bring. Laughter. Arguing. Tears. Fun. Running around silly. Sibling Rivalry. Yelling. Singing. Dancing. You name it, it probably happens in one way or the other. They are so fun and so full of life. Some of the best times, and at the same time some of the most challenging times, are the mornings. When they are up and moving and getting ready for school. Some of the best memories are made in the mornings. AND despite all the "rough mornings" that sometimes occur I would not trade the mornings for the world. There is just something about waking up the smiling (not always smiling) faces in the morning and watching the day unfold as they prepare for school. A new day. A clean slate. Another day of life. Another chance to make some memories.

So I guess what I am saying here is this....I love my girls. I love mornings with them. I love watching the day unfold. I love seeing what the morning brings. AND I love knowing that yet one more day has been given to us......Seize it, grasp it, hold it. Make the most of it. AND remember they are only young ONCE. You are only given today ONE DAY AT A TIME.
