My family and I just moved to Grand Rapids, MI last month and needless to say, I've been overwhelmed with exploring a new city! The art and culture here in Grand Rapids is just breathtaking. The economy here is thriving; there are new shops, pubs, and boutiques going up on every corner and it seems like I've stepped back into a simpler time. Coming from Chicago, the pace of life has decreased tremendously and small town businesses have a strong hold on the economy here.
One of the houses we were thinking about buying is located just 4 houses down from a Frank Lloyd Wright home, which I was thrilled to go check out. My daughter Lucy and I stopped over on our way to an appointment this afternoon. We weren't able to go in since they were closing down for the day, which was a total bummer since my entry today was going to be shots of the inside of the home. I snapped a few quick shots as we were walking around the home, and headed on our way, disappointed about the lack of exciting photos I'd have to contribute this week. Here are a couple shots of the Meyer May House here in historical neighborhood of Heritage Hill, Grand Rapids, MI :
And then I looked into my bedroom, and saw Lucy, giggling on my bed and trying to get my attention. The way the light in our bedroom lit up the room, and her blinding smile made it all too clear...
She is my greatest work of Art.
From her uneven dimples to her blond, out-of-control hair... no matter how many pictures I take in my lifetime, she is my gift of art to this world. Every part of her body is unique and she is the most beautiful piece of artwork that my body can create. My love for her grows with every moment I spend with her, in a way that pictures cannot capture. A mother's love encompasses an intensity that not even the greatest artist can concoct...
I love you, Nunu...
