Faces of Joy

Today, as I write this post, it's Mother's Day. The sun is shining, the kids are happy, the husband is making me dinner, friends are abundant and I'm feeling...well...joyful.

I'm also feeling a little guilty about the way I'm dragging my feet on writing this post. Did I mention it's Mother's Day (which according to my kids is a day that's better than your birthday, Christmas and in-school party all wrapped into one)? Instead of filling you up with words about joy I'm going to give you some pictures of things that make me joyful.

Joy, that my mother/daughter cloning experiment was successful. 

Joy, to be found in a beautiful table, hastily abandoned and scattered with half-eaten pieces of pizza.

Joy, that the bunny ear photo move is still a classic.

Joy, in a job well done.

And finally, the joy, that can be discovered in reaching for forbidden chocolate left in high places.





Thanks for stopping by to share bits of my joy. And, if you haven't already figured it out from the foregoing photos, one of the things that makes me most joyful is being a parent.

Happy Mother's Day (a day late). Here's hoping you all had plenty of time to enjoy your joy!
