San Francisco

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

~Kahlil Gibran

Family Life

They... threw themselves into the interests of the rest, but each plowed his or her own furrow. Their thoughts, their little passions and hopes and desires, all ran along separate lines. Family life is like this - animated, but collateral.

~Rose Macaulay

Justin was a little shy to begin with, but after a while he got used to the camera and started to have fun.

I Love You

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am

When I am with you.

I love you,

Not only for what

You have made of yourself,

But for what

You are making of me.

I love you

For the part of me

That you bring out.

-Roy Croft

I Corinthians 13:13

There are three things that last: faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love.

- I Corinthians 13:13

I love thee

I love thee,

I love but thee

With a love that shall not die

Till the sun grows cold

And the stars grow old.

-William Shakespeare

The Rings

"For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward."

- Erma Bombeck

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.
~Vietnamese Proverb

Joy

"Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy."
-Mother Teresa

Oh brothers!

All for one and one for all
My brother and my friend
What fun we have
The time we share
Brothers 'til the end.

~Author Unknown

The Sweetest Thing

When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels.

~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Just one more day

Life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside.

~Rita Rudner

Can you believe how great Jen looks? She delivered her baby the very next day! I'm glad we didn't postpone the photo shoot.
