If I were just people-watching ... and I saw these people walk / ride by, I'd think to myself:
• Look at those lucky kids; to have a father who spends so much time with them; to give shoulder rides & carry their big wheel when they get tired.
• What a lucky lady to be married to that guy in the orange shirt.
Well, I wasn't just people-watching. I fell behind to let a little girl pet our dog, so I got to take a few photos from afar. And I gained a little perspective by doing so.
Those are my lucky kids. And I'm the lucky lady. :)

awesome. Wise to put yourself in the shoes of an outsider looking in to see your life for what it is: blessed. Thank you for sharing. And great song playing, btw!
great perspective! nice surprise ending ;0)
i love the first picture rachel! i would frame that one!! it's nice to step back once in a while and see what you have in your life.
You are a lucky lady, but you're also very wise for the knowing.
WOW!! How COOL to see your family from someone else's perspective like that!!! It really made me think... I spend too much time worrying about what other people will think of my family (things like why is that little one ALWAYS running around with a dirty face??) and not enough time thinking about all of the good that is right there for them to see.
Thanks for your beautiful post... LOVE the colors of the photography also.

beautifully written and pictured!
I love that picture! Sometimes it takes a photo to make us truly appreciate a wonderful husband and father.
