This probably isn't a great photo by anyone's standards except my own, but there is something I just love about it. Maybe it's the mouse ears on the suit that I had to buy G at a consignment sale. (Wish you could see the tail she is sitting on!) Maybe it's the new Ikea shelves that I finally got after years of covetting. Perhaps it's the mess she is sitting in (she is my daughter!). Whatever it is, to me, this says home. It's one of those days that I get to just stay at home and be Mommy, my favorite job, only second to Wife. These days are becoming more and more precious to me. I know some day they will be gone, or at least my kids will be grown. I will miss the mess, miss the toys, miss my babies being babies. But for today I choose to put off the household duties and play. I love being a Mommy!

I first saw the "I Shoot People" (with a camera!) necklace on Shutter Sisters and loved it. Around Christmas I was looking for a mother's necklace and was referred to The Rusted Chain by a friend, where this little gem popped up. As much as I love my kiddos, I immediately switched gears and decided that this is what I wanted instead. Cute with a sense of humor--you can't beat that.

I was surprised when it didn't turn up under the Christmas tree. To my delight, it turned up today. They hadn't been able to deliver it by Christmas. So not only now do I have an awesome necklace, but the Christmas joy was spread a little more than expected. Thanks, Honey!
