the {laugh} that lasts

Daily Mantra: “Laughter is a smile that bursts.” {mary.h.waldrip}

I heard her laugh as I was standing at the sink washing the 3rd load of dishes for the day. I heard her laugh but knew she wasn’t there. I peeked into the living room only to find that Mikayla had somehow, overnight adopted my mother’s distinctive chortle. I don’t interupt her…the laugh is like holding a warm cup of tea in my hands. See mom, even though you are a few hours away, we get to hear you all the time. {kiss}

Fantastic photos, but even better journaling. Ever thought about writing a book of short stories?

Aww, that is so beautiful! It’s amazing how even though they are most definitely their own VERY distinct little people, they still do and say things that are EXACTLY like one of us (or a parent, or a grandparent). Really makes you think about genetics, huh? :)

Mandy, I look forward to your post for the journaling as much as the photography. You are so expressive, both verbally and visually. I love this entry–likening the laughter to a warm cup of tea in the hands–what a great image!!
