Yes, I'm setting a decorating goal for the new year. As emasculating as it might seem to our American sensibilities, I do think this goal is, at its core, at the heart of what it means to be a man; a family man that is. I want to decorate our house with pictures of our family. Large, gleaming, glossy, silly, fun pictures. This revelation came to me while I was thinking about what pictures to put up above our mantel. I suddenly I realized that as a happy and fairly young family, we don't really have that many pictures of our actual family up and around the house. I then saw this post at makingitlovely.com where she hangs this huge and neat looking photo of her daughter in her office. I guess we do have a shelf upstairs that holds memories, but even that is well below eye level and hidden in a strange cornerish part of the upstairs. I want them to be plentiful, larger, and throughout the house. Here are some of my favorite pics from our flickr account.
Sorry for picture overload.
OMG!! you should have tag this post as NSFW. I’m gonna be sitting down with my boss because of this.
I can’t believe this is happening.
How did you get that first pic? I love all these! I should reproduce just for the fantastic photo ops!
The first one was exactly what it looks like. Me, throwing Evelyn REALLY high onto the bed. I guess its a problem with dads. We just keep pushing it and pushing it until mom screams, “ENOUGH!”.
I LOVE THIS
