Justin’s a sneaky devil:

After a couple (or more?) shutter clicks, I opened my eyes to a dark figure pointing a camera at Sara and I sleeping in bed this morning. In any other household, that might be a very.bad.way to wake up, but when you’re married to a professional photographer, you get used to just about anything. Besides, I was so exhausted from Sara’s present schedule that I think I only managed a muffled, “Oh, great!” before slipping right back into REM sleep.

Sleepy sarcasm aside, I’m so glad Justin snapped this shot. As I commented on Flickr, where he posted first posted it to my account, it’s reminiscent of the photo from Mother’s Day morning that he also sneakily captured of Sara and I sleeping.

I think about how I felt about Sara back on Mother’s Day ‘07; if asked, back then, I would have said I couldn’t love her more or be more in awe of her as a little human being, but now eight months later? All that love’s still there, and so much more as she develops her personality, explores the world around her, and works on perfecting her mobility and communication skills.

She’s about to close my MacBook on my hands right now, so I guess that’s my cue to end this entry. (Yes, she’s awake at 10:22 PM. We have a fun schedule going right now!)
