This week Mo has chosen the word MOON. For more information click here. To join the fun click here.
"Moon Over Miami" is a classic film from 1941. I was in Miami with my Mom for my cousin Chris' wedding in 2003. Ellie was with me and she was 5-6 weeks old. It was easily the most fun I have ever had at a wedding! My Mom and I stayed in South Beach at the Clinton Hotel which was extremely funky and a blast! Ellie was a precious little darling and a great travel companion! My Mom was blitzed two of those nights (sorry Momma!) so I ended up taking care of her giggly self but enjoyed it none the less and probably more!
I do so love that no matter where you are and no matter where you go the moon is always there and always the same. It has served as a constant and as a comfort to me many, many times! I remember catching lightening bugs under it's light as a child. I remember staring at it while I was abroad in Belgium and France missing home. The kids and I often search for it now and to this day I swear that you can see the outline of a face in it!
For anyone who knows me, you know that my children are my moonbeams. This term was shared with me before my little DD was born in 2002 and it's always stuck. My little moonbeams have returned to Florida from their Disney cruise and are spending their days in Disney World with their Dad this week. Forget Miami, their moon is over Orlando right now!
On the B Side: I love and miss my little moonbeams like crazy! This is the longest I have ever been away from them. No doubt they are loving every moment and while my heart aches I am keeping in mind that we are sharing the same moon each night! xxox
ps - I love the little half moons that Adi's eyes make when she smiles!!
