This was supposed to be a throw-away photo, one that Russell took while trying out his new umbrellas and 85mm lens (we opened Christmas early). But it turned out to be such a perfect portrait of my life right now.
Dexter has just finished eating and is happy as can be (click on the photo twice to see the bubble on his tongue). I think this is his first smile we have captured in a photo.
Dorian is insistent about sitting in my lap ("I wanna be two boys"). His hair is crazy, he's not wearing pants, and he's a little awed by the new camera equipment his dad is playing with (bee-lellas!).
I'm a little mad, a little tired, a little fat, and a little depressed, but I really do love cuddling with my two boys.
This is my life, and its...good.

I think those "real" photographs are much better than the staged poses. You gotta love technology and digital cameras. We'd never be able to see that bubble in the old polaroid days.
I so totally relate! I had my husband read this post because you worded it so perfectly!!!
What a great photo! :) I love it!
What was I thinking? no mom can take care of more than two kids. this picture is awesome. and i'm glad you are blogging again.
What cute boys, and a beautiful Mamma too!
I can relate to how you are feeling. It's on days like this that I have an even greater appreciation for my parents. Being an adult and a mother is a lot harder than I thought it would be. If you look at the simple joys and triumphs it really is fulfilling isn't it.
Now if I could just remember that on a day to day basis. . .
That looks pretty normal to me. :)
I love this post. Love the words. love the photo. Love the people including the one behind the camera)L
It really is a pretty sweet picture! Some day, I promise, you will look back and wish they were still so little. Some day... :)
