At the center of everything I do, my girls bring me the most joy of anything ever. Days like the one pictured here keep me semi-sane and bring to my attention that finding real happiness is often in forgetting the weights of the world and just letting the wind wash over us. Dancing in a dried up pond bank. Shouting at nothing at all just to hear your voice echo. There can be so many things to smile about, and lately I need this lesson.. but my smile is coming back, as I let go of all I don't understand and focus on these simple truths that my girls teach me.
To serenade this post is a new favorite song of mine by Coldplay, it's called "Strawberry Swing." I love it so much, so that's my music musing...because I like it and I think it suits these pictures perfectly!
Thanks for coming to read this today... I hope I won't be so long in between posts, it's just a hard time in my life and a very intricate story that I am not yet ready to tell. I miss writing though, I miss connecting with you all. *sniff*

Okay, I shall just have to get used to being "anonymous"... at least on your blog. Thanks for the auntie fix. I missed seeing Avery here, but she spent a night with Casey last week, and I got my hug at church before she had to go home. so now I just miss my Masyn and Evy hugs. :( Give them each one and tell them it's from Aunt Lisa!
One more thing... I just want to encourage you, so here goes -- Stay in the saddle, little girl, no matter how hard the bronco bucks. Give up, let go and fly off, there is no prize, and you most likely end up with a busted...umm, *something* usually gets busted. Hang in there. You deserve the prize. I just needed to leave that with you. :)
Hope this "comment" isn't too long, but perhaps it will make up for all the freebie views I've had here without commenting! :D
Love you!
Lisa
P.S.- Taylor reads your blogs too!
Yay!.. A new post:) I can almost smell the fresh air and feel it on my face... LOVE that last picture, I sure miss seeing you guys every sunday.
I don't know all of what you may be going through but I am glad that you can see what is really important and enjoy it anyway.
((hugs))

Amelia,
I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. I love reading your posts, admiring your photography, and listening to your wonderful music choices. "Strawberry Swing" perfectly captures the mood in the photos! Another song to add to my iPod...

As always, I have enjoyed another little glimpse into your world and your heart. Listen to your big sister. There is wisdom nestled in her loving words of encouragement.
Abundant grace to you as you walk through whatever season you are finding yourself in.
We miss connecting with you too.
And whenever you're ready to share, we're ready to bear it with you. That's what friends (or blog readers) are for!
You really ARE cared about around here, lady. By more than 2 people. ;-)
your girls are so beautiful...
hope all is well...
loved the little glimpse into such a peaceful setting...

There are seasons when you talk to your friends everyday and there are seasons when much time will pass but no matter when you talk again we will just start up where we left off. I don't know you personally but have been reading your blog for a long time. I still remember the story of one of your sweet ones using black Sharpie on a newly stripped-wallpapered wall:) Your stories and pictures light up my day.
I will keep you in my prayers, that you will see a light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Reminded me of a great priority and put just perfectly strange and wonderful how you feel and the pictures as always take me right into my very own little moment of peacful escape and bliss.
Well done, till next time!

Hi Amelia but you not only have two readers I check your blog all the time, is just that an not best writer of the world {LOL} so I do not comment that much, anyways I'm so happy to see pics of the Girls they are so cute, I hope thing go better with you, but if not remember things good or bad happens for a reason. Only God knows why, and unfortunately sometimes nobody have an answer.
