love & happiness.

{via: flickr.}

this picture makes me want to gather up my nieces & nephews, one by one, and sit with them on the floor, reading to them for hours. i would listen to every question and comment each had to offer about every-other-word i read. i would fill up juice cups in between stories and i would pour endless amounts of goldfish crackers into tiny bowls--all the while hearing stories of "when i was 3," or "when i was a baby", trying not to laugh at their silly quips.

& i would love.every.minute.

{fall 2008}

i wish i could see them everyday.
