"To everything
There is a season,
turn, turn, turn...
turn, turn, turn...
...A time to gain, a time to lose.
My Thing #2 is gaining a whole new season of her life. I am losing a season of mine as it morphs into something different. Truth is, despite the season...she will always be my little girl, in my heart. Turn, turn, turn.
...a time to rend, a time to sew.
...a time for love, a time for hate.
So much love where weddings and our children meet. I do hate I can't freeze this time in our lives. Altho, I have the next best thing. My camera. Sometimes it grants me amazing super powers. Turn, turn, turn.
...And a time to every purpose, under Heaven."

Thank you Thing #2 for allowing me to capture, and share a glimpse into, this special mom/daughter time. **Disclaimer: Thing #2 had total veto power over what was included here. Translation? I allowed her role reversal to tell ME "no". She didn't. What a year this is. I get to experience weddings from two different perspectives. Mom of the bride...soon followed by morphing into mom of the groom with Thing #1. Seasons just continue to turn, turn, turn.

Perhaps I should have saved this week's post for NEXT week's Song-ography. It would most def fit the criteria for both songs. But, I'm thinking I will be able to find something else I can be "Happy" about...
"Happy"
Pharrell Williams
My Thing #3 HATES this song. It kinda makes me happy thinking I now have a reason to sing this all week and annoy her to no end. A mom's gotta do, what a mom's gotta do. I'm happy already.
Thanks for joining in at Song-ography! Please take some time to visit the linked up blogs and be amazed by the awesome-ness. It will make you happy...fer sure!
P.S. You can now find me on Facebook. Please hop on over to You'll Shoot Your Eye Out and give me a "like".

I love the shot of your daughters excited face. Such a perfect moment and her dress looks beautiful I can't wait to see it all

What a memorable time! I know because my daughter got married 4 weeks ago. I couldn't show photos of the fitting because she didn't want her fiance to see her dress before the wedding :) This dress looks beautiful, with its generous skirt of lace. Your daughter's expression is great. Kind of sums up wedding planning emotion. Enjoy every minute of your family's weddings! Such a FUN time!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting moment in both of your lifes...a completely new chapter in the life of your daughter.Her happy and lovely expression , a memorable time! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots your daughter is gorgeous. Enjoy every moment of it. Wishing your daughter lots of happiness congrats
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. This is such a poignant post.
ReplyDeleteSniff. Sniff. What a beautiful bride! Her dress is amazing, from what we can see. Blessing upon you all!
ReplyDelete(((Totally Priceless)))!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, you're going to make me cry! What great shots! I love that song, I don't understand people who hate it!!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, thank you (and to your daughter as well) for these glimpses of this beautiful beautiful dress, look at that gorgeous lace, so classic. I know you're going to be so busy on the day but if you can manage these shots at a fitting, I can't wait to see one or two from the scenes of the day. It must be a little bit of an out of body experience being a part of all these wedding plans with your little people. Renee
