self portrait

This is my son, Ryder, 1 week old. I could not wait to take this photo. I proudly wore this shirt while pregnant, but had purchased it for the purpose of taking this photo. It makes a point, and makes it boldly. I understand the controversy that comes along with a statement like this, which is why I was not sure if it belonged here on the blog. I try to keep the blog filled with joyful moments filled with lots of family love, but to me this picture is EXACTLY that.
So here it is:

LOVE  for LIFE, no matter how small.
