Rain’s Sweet Pouts and Dawn’s Funny Faces

Outtakes from 2/52. Can you blame me for taking too many pictures of this duo, and having a hard time choosing just one shot each?

Rain’s sweet little pouts! —Don’t you just want to kiss her? :-*

 Dawn’s adorable funny faces! —Don’t you just want to squish her? :D

Oh yay Spinkie bunnies!

Loves of my life.

It was Sunday afternoon when these photographs were taken, in the attic of D’s childhood home, as we were spending the weekend with his parents who are in town for a short trip. The babies were supposedly taking a nap while the grandparents were resting in the room one floor below. I remember the beautiful afternoon light through white-curtained windows, the tiny chuckles that filled the room, and my husband being all silly just to make these babies smile.

And I remember feeling like my heart was going to burst with so much love and joy, like everything I ever need and want in this life is within the four corners of that bed.

Photographs are amazing that way. They don’t only preserve memories, they also remind you how the moments made you feel.
