Bella putting the final touches on Eliza. I can only imagine what Gabe is thinking!
Thank-you for sharing your dreams with me.. So many beautiful dreams. So many of them struck me as 'identical' to the ones I hold dear..
So for their beautiful words Nina (NM Wells) and Lisa at Renovating Italy have one themselves a copy of Chasing a Dream.. ..
Nina's dream is identical to mine.. The only difference is I want to fly my precious nieces and nephews to Paris .. All the rest is the same.. xx AUNTY CARLA LOVES YOU MITCH, BLAKE, BELLA, ELIZA, CHARLOTTE AND GABE!! (See some of the gang above playing Beauty Salons a couple of years ago)
NMWells wrote.. My dream is to be that FANTASTIC aunt I always wanted as a child to my two nieces and nephew. You know, that aunt that lives in New York City or even San Francisco in a loft, successful, works for herself (as a photograpgher) and has no kids of her own. Fly them out for the whole summer, spoil them to no end and teach them life lessons that they will remember for years to come. My dream is for them not to just love Auntie Nina because I'm their family but also love me for being an example and one of reasons they to excel in life!!!
*I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TAMIA, ANDREW, AND SAGE!
And from Lisa at Renovating Italy
happiness
laughter
holding hands with my amore
my daughter's first love
our son's gentle kiss
my father waiting in heaven
butterfly kisses
a little boy lost in autumn
my mother's mind slowly wandering
a great man lost

love the moments captured of your nieces and nephews! love that the chair is tilted back, beauty salon style! haha! x
ReplyDeleteI loved what Nina wrote. I'm lucky my nieces & nephew are only 5 minutes from where I live, and I get to spend a lot of time with them, but I completely relate to wanting to be a great role model for them. I'm very conscious of trying to show them that women can be happy and successful and live alone and I love sharing life lessons I've learnt with them. When you don't have your own children, your nieces & nephews are so very, very precious.
ReplyDeletethey look so fun!:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! They are fun and filled with love.
