Katie sat down with Afton at the most random time (Afton’s typical nap time) and had Afton paint Valentine’s Day cards. Mind you Valentine’s Day is 5 days away and we never do anything special for Valentine’s day in the May house. At first it slightly bothered me because I was thinking this could be done at any other time all while totally neglecting Afton’s joy at creating artwork for both her grandmothers. I realized too, that my wife is great at creating meaningful and memorable moments for our family. She is a planner, a go getter, and sometimes she gets me out of my mundane, usual boring routine. She just adds a little bit of spice to our lives and I love that quality about her. I had two different edits so I included both of them.
It amazes me how photography can capture normal everyday life and make it a spectacular, memorable piece of art. Thanks for snagging this photo even though it was an “odd” time for painting valentines.
