You make me want to dance! by barefoot momma photography
Love here isn’t your typical frilly, lovey dovey, giddy as a school girl type love, but there is definite evidence of love floating around here. You might not always see it between the daily, I mean hourly, refereed wrestling matches, the “no’s” and “quit it’s” floating through the house and the tears spurred by a claim of unfairness, but it’s there. It is there in the rare moments of stillness and their arms find a way around each other, I hear it in the tiny giggles and “I’ll help you’s” that float out of their rooms, I see it in the eyes of my youngest when he admires his big brother and in their concern for each other when one is hurt or crying. The moments might be short, but they are there, evidence that it’s not always punches and teasing, but love and admiration too!
When I first saw the image by three little cupcakes, it reminded me of these flashes of love that make their way into our home and after reading her sentiments about her own photo, I knew this was the photo for me. My photo was one of the “out takes” during my attempt to get a valentine photo of my boys together. Normally, they run from the camera or are too busy to sit still, but this day THEY wanted pictures and like three little cupcakes, “I love anything that involves my boys sitting nicely and not beating the crap out of each other.” Especially if it results in fun, laughter and capturing a moment that shows the love they have for each other, just look at my youngest admire his big brother! Being able to capture these moments makes a mom’s heart happy and far outweighs the frustrating hours spent refereeing little boys! Plus it’s evidence that they DO love each other when they have their first fight over a girl!
Thank you to muse Tammy for asking me to share the love in my life and thank you to muse April for sharing her day with me!
Wishing you lovely moments and a Happy Valentine's day!
Make sure to visit tomorrow. Christy will be sharing the love with her muse... Jen.

Both photos are so sweet, and as the mother of three sons, I can relate. It still makes my heart swell with love when I see my now grown sons laugh and joke with each other. Lovely post, thanks so much for musing with us today.
Both are fabulous selections T!

Brooke the photos are lovely and your words are perfect! I feel the same way with my two little ones. Thanks for sharing with us :)
You are very wise at such a young age, Brooke. "Back in the day" I often was too exhausted to snap photos when "all was quiet" on the south-eastern front. What a moment to capture!
This is such a great post - and such a happy post. Love it!
