It’s you I like,
It’s not the things you wear,
It’s not the way you do your hair–
But it’s you I like
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you–
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys–
They’re just beside you.
But it’s you I like–
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new.
I hope that you’ll remember
Even when you’re feeling blue
That it’s you I like,
It’s you yourself,
It’s you, it’s you I like.
(song by Mr.Rogers)

A+ SUPER Duper POST!You picked perfect images for this precious song.
So many children and families were blessed by the life of Mr Rogers
Loved it! You have such treasure in your children. I know you know that. I miss Mr. Rogers!
How adorable! Your entire family is beautiful! You’re photography is as well. I have played with photography, and I love it. My husband surprised me with a really nice camera, and I play around a little bit. I know that once we have children, I will be taking photographs constantly!
What a great mommy you are! you have such a sweet family!
What a beautiful post, you picked the perfect pictures to go with each verse of the song, my kids miss Mr Rogers. Have a fabulous Friday.
LOL, I was just telling my husband about a dream I had last night. In my dream I packed up all my kids and drove to your house to visit for the day. You and I were enjoying a quiet chat while the children played outside in the snow. I got up to check on the kids and could see all of them except my Isaiah and Autumn, so I opened the door and yelled “where is Isaiah”, at the same time I looked down towards your pond and screamed. Isaiah and Autumn were swimming in the pond with ice all around them, all of the other children were bundled up head to toe playing in the snow. You and I ran out the door and down to the pond……….then I woke up. I guess your pictures have an impact on me if I have dreams involving your pond LOL.
great post!!!! Your family is so cute!!!
THAT MADE ME MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! GREAT JOB SIS. LOVE YOU.
I wanted to BOOST this post, just as I want to do with many of yours, but I don’t see a place that allows me to do it.
came back to enjoy your pictures again…the one of your son at the table is a masterpiece
What a wonderful post — you do such a great job with your pictures — and Mr. Rogers — what a special man he was!
Your sweet spirit is so encouraging to me. I found your blog from visiting “my meanderings”. Thanks for visiting mine too.
