Team Up Thursday
Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 05:00AM 
In honor of Mother's Day, Megan and I decided on "mom" for our Team Up Thursday theme this week. I am just so wowed by Megan's picture. It's so amazing how much you can learn from just one image. I don't have any photos like that but I hope that my girls will. Which is why I take so many pictures. Hopefully they'll look back at this photo of us and tell a story and feel the emotion all over again.

Lovey lovely lovely. I am so happily jealous of your amazing photo. I can't ever get my kids to take a photo with me. I'll have to try and harness some of your awesomeness the next time I attempt a photo shoot.
Here is our latest: M is for Monkey
Wow! These are both so beautiful! What wonderful tributes to who we are as moms and to those who raised us!!!
Such a delightful pair. Old and new. Perfect. Happy Mother's Day (belated) to you all. This week, we did looking up.
LOVE it! I love the dreamy quality of yours. What a treasure for your girls! Amy and I did "the secret life of toys":

Oooooh, I love both of those pictures! My mom has a whole binder of old pictures and stories from her family when she grew up. I don't think we have very many as a kid, though. I need to take some pictures like you did with your girls though. Very emotive...and great memories.
Really terrific. I love the contrasts--and similarities--between the two. We did "looking up" today.
What a treasure to have such a wonderful photo of you with your girls. This will definitely be one that sticks around for a long time. Like I told Megan, you guys knocked it out of the park this week.
my new favorite dip:).
Melody, I simply love his photo of you and the girls. I love Megan's image as well and they work well together. I'm with you, I don't have good inter-generational pictures of my mom and grandmother (and me). I need to get in front of the camera again with Harrison - it's been awhile.
both of those images speak 1000 words :) happy late mother's day! xo
Love your picture Mel. It's beautiful.
Very cute picture of you and the girls!
That shot of you and your daughters is just gorgeous. I love how soft and dreamy it is and you are all just beautiful. Megan's picture is just such a great take on the theme. Something I would never have thought of but when I saw it said "wow". Oh, and I love your new header - sweet :)
Oh, Mel. I am teary-eyed from your dipy this week. I know you are wowed by Megan's photo - but yours! It is freakin' amazing. I want a photo of me with my girls exactly like this one. The mood, N.'s head on your shoulder, V.'s hand so casually draped over your leg...it is just too much. It is so amazing. Might be my absolute FAVORITE photo of yours...EVER! (Have I said that before? I REALLY mean it this time!) ;-)
Agree, what a perfect pair, old and new. Melody, your picture is just beautiful. Emotion, contrast, and softness about it. LOVE IT! Your daughters will for sure treasure it forever! They are blessed with a wonderful Mother! Happy Belated Mothers day!
Beautiful and dreamy picture of you and your girls. fantastic, i bet you will cherish that forever. you are lucky that your girls will pose with you.
YES, they will look back on it and be flooded with emotion! Heck, I feel so full of emotion looking at it now, and I have never even seen you in person. Stunning Melody - you, the girls, the photo, and story of love that it tells. THIS is the photo every mother wants to have of her and her children!
Beautiful photos, very inspirational!
