Do you sometimes see a photo of yourself and think ... "Wow, I'm getting older."? I usually critique and criticize a photo as to whether it's "good"of me or not but this is the first time I immediately thought that my age really is starting to show. Which was a bit shocking. Not that it truly bothers me in a vain sort of way ... I've always thought and been told that I look much younger than my age ... and I'm not one to care enough to actually color over my (many!) pure white hairs! I guess it's about time that my looks finally start to catch up to my age ... after all, I will be 35 this year! (wow.)
Still, this is me, the mother of two. And I simply love this photo as it is of my boy and I ... and I'm pretty sure that all he's see when he looks at me is a whole lotta love!

It's just that your almost thirty-five year old face is right next to the baby face! Compared to Henry you're OLD! Put yourself next to my grandpa and you're still a babe yourself!
Aaaahhh....aging! I just keep telling myself that if my twenties were better than my teens and my thirties better than my twenties, then what do I have to fear once I hit the forties?!
I'm right there with ya Cass, been feeling the same exact way lately every time I see photos of myself. And like you, it's not that I desire to be vain, but seeing my youthful face show more and more wrinkles by the day is hard sometimes! =)
Like my Grandma always said ... having wrinkles means you've lived a lot, laughed a lot and even gone through times that made you cry. But the wrinkles show that you lived a full life.
First of all, I'm not really seeing the signs of age that you're talking about. (But then, I may be in denial since I'm a year older than you are.) But since you are concerned, I'd like to point out that what you're seeing in your pictures is probably a tired Cass, not an old one. :)
I think you are more beautiful than you ever have been since you became a mom!
You are adorable and you are right...I am very sure that Henry only sees love and that is all that matters! A mother of two...does it seem strange to even say it? I am still in awe that I will be giving birth very soon!
Love, Chey.
Thanks everyone for your comments! I hope it doesn't seem as though I was fishing for compliments or presuming of myself that I looked OLD (I don't think I do) ...
... Really, it was the very obvious lines around my eyes in this photo - and again, not that it bothers me terribly - but it was just a rather clarifying moment for me. Realizing that I am getting older ... that I may actually be 35 this year ... that it has been almost half my life since high school graduation when it still feels like just a few years ago.
Just been having a good 'think' about this lately ...
Hi, Cass- my first thought was, "what is Henry thinking about?"
At least we're all growing old together;-)
