Word(less)ful Wednesday - Grateful


This is a photo of my mother and Mekhi earlier this year. Mekhi no longer sucks his fingers and I am glad that I got this shot. He is clearly grateful for his fingers and the warmth and comfort of grandma's arms. I believe my mother is grateful for FINALLY having a grandchild. Although she looks kinda sad in this photo she is actually watching tv. I caught her in an unexpected moment and I think it is beautiful. In my opinion this photo personifies gratefulness.


For more Wordful Wednesday visit Angie's 7 Clown Circus for WW visit 5 Minutes for Mom.

My little sis sucked her "fing-gays" JUST. like. that.

Can I crawl in there???? I sooo need that right now.
I love this post and I am excited to feature it on the #gno blog (http://mommygossip-gno.blogspot.com). I was also excited to see you at GNO tonight. Thanks for your enthusiasm, participation, and your spirit. I remember the first time I discovered your blog and we were chatting about volunteering and service. When I saw you tonight, I knew you would be into the topic, because it is so much a part of who you are. I'm glad to "know" you!!!

I know you said she was watching TV but it looks as if she's looking into the future and saying come what may, you can ALWAYS find peace, love and acceptance in my arms.

You have a beautiful family. I love moments like these.
It's a beautiful shot. So serene. And your mom looks SO young!
Deb said…
at first, it did seem like your mom was sad, but i see it now... she's just comforting and loving WHILE watching tv... moms are good at multi-tasking, are they not? and mekhi looks so protected and loved (and content!).
CaraBee said…
What a great picture! Those cuddly moments are the best!
This is a very sweet shot and I long for my mother to be around my kids. My mil is always around them but there is nothing like having your own mom around.

I'm so glad you caught a picture of your son sucking his fingers... sweet. (And good blackmail material when the girls start coming... tee hee!) I hope this beautiful picture is in a really pretty frame somewhere!

You look like your mommy Nee Nee... oh and that is the custest finger suck I have ever seen! My 3 yr. sucks his thumb and I can;t wait for him to break the habit, not as cute at 3.

precious picture :)
Nothing like seeing the generation connection. This is loving.
Petula said…
That's a wonderful shot! Your mom looks so young! That's definitely a shot to cherish.

How'd you get him to stop sucking his fingers. My second daughter sucks those same fingers except on the left hand. The baby sucks her thumb, but the other two never sucked their fingers. Neither suck their fingers at daycare or school, but I can't break them at home.
Melissa Martin said…
That is so sweet. I wish my girls could spend more time with my parents.
Unknown said…
How sweet. Glad to hear he's not sucking his fingers anymore.
Susie said…
What a beautiful memory to capture:-)

That is absolutely precious. What a wonderful thing to have captured on film.

I've used up my 300 entrecard drops for today, but wanted to let you I dropped by.

Awww...see now you're making me wish I was that small again and wrapped in my grandma's arms. Your mother looks like she could be your sister.

That is a beautiful picture. They both look like there's no where else they would rather be.
Barbara said…
Awww, soo cute and yes, the picture says it all. He reminds me of my little brother, who STILL sucks those exact two fingers =)
Jenners said…
Found your blog while playing Mission Monday. LOVE your blog design...it is so beautiful and fun but still readable! Great job. I'll be back to check out more stuff because you seem to have a lot going on and I've already neglected my housework too long so I've GOT TO STOP. (This blogging is addictive but my husband is fed up that the house is going to hell in a handbasket).

And the Calgon post reminded me that is has been WAY TOO LONG since I took a bubble bath so that is going on my to do list this week!

Thanks!
