It is natural for us to make dreams and hopes for our future. I think this is so healthy for us to do because it gives us something to strive for. However, sometimes our future comes and we realize we aren't where we thought we "should be" or wanted to be. We get disappointed, depressed, or just grumpy. We give up. Or we don't. We find a reason to celebrate and find joy in how far we have come. There are so many tender mercies, so many good things that happy in our lives when we try our best every day. These are cause for celebration, which is exactly what I have done. Last year, I kept waiting for when I'd have a cute baby bump so that we would have an excuse to take family pictures. But then I realized I really don't know when this would ever happen and decided that the only reason we needed to schedule a family portrait session was to C elebrate Us! I hope you enjoy this simple movie as much as I enjoyed making it and reminiscing these past 5 yea...
