my gown can have all the creases

we stood as principal sponsors the other weekend. because the wedding was early, hubby and i were all dressed up before Gab woke up. in the mood for shooting, we asked our helper to take our photo. lo & behold, Gab suddenly appeared from his room & managed to squeeze into the camera's frame ...

still in pajamas! i tried to shove him to the side because he was signalling me to carry him & i was concerned with my gown. but he started to protest. seeing the hurt in my son's eyes, i quickly lifted him up to my arms...






and got this beautiful shot in my entire life! i didn't care anymore. my gown can have all its creases (yes, they were visible as i walked into the church hours later), but i can never forget Gab's smile as he posed with us.

when we bid goodbye to him, he was actually smiling, pleased that Mommy caved in to his demand that i carry him while i was all dressed up.



i love this cropped image - proof of Gab's sheer joy. and ours too...
