Melissa---this is moving in many ways....Loooooooove this!!! The way your little guy is looking at you and your husband has almost a shyness about him...You captured genuineness...pure love explodes from this image...A winner...
OK---I may be getting personal here---every tattoo(or most) have a meaning to them...my husband has ummmm...both his arms and calves tattooed and across his shoulder blades tattooed...(people can't believe we've been married 16 yrs...he and I are night and day, but yet, are each other's balance) all of his deal with God, Me, or our girls...
Just curious of the tree on your husbands arm...It's very bold and unique...I just notice stuff like that...
Once again this is a FANTASTIC photo...

Thank you SO much everyone!!!

Sharon - my husband is a carpenter/woodworker and has been for 15 years. You may have noticed the rigging axes on his other arm too ;) The tree is a combination of what has provided a roof over our head for 13 years (trees...construction) and my husband's commitment to being the best father he can be. Not too personal at all :) #5439079
