weekly winners, volume 5
This was kind of a long week, and a rather emotional one here on The Internets. In case you haven’t heard the story, Heather and Mike (thespohrsaremultiplying.com) lost their beautiful daughter early last week. The reaction from the blogosphere has been pretty amazing to watch- everything from donations to blog posts to videos to March of Dimes teams being organized in Maddie’s honor to purple purple purple everywhere. I’m about a gazillion years late with getting my act together on writing about this (just got my purple-ized Twitter icon up tonight!) but if you’d like to know more about how you can help, there is a great post over at A Mom Two Boys. No parent should ever ever have to know what it’s like to lose a child.
Between this and a local tragedy involving 3 policemen, I feel like I’ve been not-so-subtly reminded that I need to be more aware of the simple, happy things in life. And to appreciate every moment, even the poopy ones.

LOVE the pigtails. And look how much fun Daddy is having coloring eggs. And wearing stickers. :)

I love the get-up with the pearls! lol
And I feel like a bad mom for not decorating eggs with my daughter yesterday… How lazy am I?
Whatever that is on Daddy’s forehead, I hope it’s not contagious. It looks a little scary. ;-)
Hello, Mr. Canon! He’s treating you well.

@Burgh Baby: ha yeah she was decorating everyone’s foreheads with stickers :) And yes, Mr. Canon has been treating me very well. Still waiting for my 50mm lens from Amazon though, grrr! Stupid backorder…
I adore those pigtails! Excellent shots! Looks like it was a good Easter! :)

I was away from the computer for most of the last few days and returned to find out about Maddie and then Thalon. Completely heartbreaking – I’ve been a wreck all day. Hugs to you and your family…. I hate these reminders of how fragile life is but I will be squeezing my kids extra tight from now on.
