One of my photography goals is to develop the ability to accurately document daily life, especially as our girls are growing up. A favorite parenting quote I have heard is that the days are long but the years are short. Today was like any other day - filled with washing and folding laundry, playing "bucking bronco" for the girls, cleaning the kitchen multiple times, make believe with the toy animals, taking the girls to gymnastics and the park, ironing (so much ironing - it is possibly my all-time least favorite chore), soothing hurts and bonks, going to the gym to exercise, picking up toys, baths and bedtime routines. I can't get over how my heart fills watching these two little hooligans run around in their little leotards which are not only great for gymnastics but for dressing up and pretending to be Tinkerbell, complete with a special request Tinkerbell bun hairdo that Mom obligingly put in. I'm exhausted but satisfied with today, and already feeling weary thinking about tomorrow's back-to-school brunch, orthodontist appointment, and 3+ hour mandatory parent prechool meeting for the coop that Clara will start attending next week.

Not sure quite how I captured this flare from the fluorescent lights at the gymnastics studio, but I sort of like it actually.
