One of life's perfect moments ...

Real Estate Agent with Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860 MD594797



Life is so much simpler at that age.

Totally unimpressed by the serious faces of the grown-ups
you can steal the show and make everybody smile.

You can giggle about your daddy's speech
and nobody will think you are out of line.

You can walk the planks of an historic ship
wearing just one shoe
and everybody will think it's adorable.

You can seize the moment,
let the wind blow through your curly hair
and make everybody wish they could be little again

... for one perfect moment!


I can only take credit for the little girl. One of life's little moments was captured beautifully by Jill-Ann Stolley Vick - a freelance photographer residing in Howard County, Maryland. It may not be copied, sold or distributed without express permission.

The picture was taken November 9th aboard the USS Constellation - Baltimore Inner Harbor - during my husband's commissioning ceremony.

I love this photo. It reminds me of when my daughter was younger and life was simpler. Your commentary was so heart-felt. Thanks for sharing.

Andrea... what an adorable photo.  It was not mentioned in your post... so can I assume this is your little girl ?  What is her name ?

Oh... I would give just about anything to go back and be that age, that innocent... with one major chance to do a "do-over."  What a great photo.  You are indeed one lucky woman, Mom !

It's so true about being that age.  However, I worked for an international software company once.  When we had our annual holiday party, our president showed up in a tuxedo, and one brown sock, and one black one.  He had obviously gotten dressed in dim light.

Hi Alan & Michele: Thank you for stopping by!

Hi Tammy: It is just such a perfect picture capturing a perfect moment of innocence! I so wanted to kick off my heels and kneel down right beside her! Thank you!

Hi Gary: It truly was one of those perfect moments and I'm so glad my client/photographer/new friend captured it so beautifully!

Hi Miss Karen Anne: I love the picture, too! Yes, this is my youngest Angeline, her big sister made it through the ceremony staying put in her seat! There are more pictures in the other blog if you want to take a look .. I was really itching to join her, she just looked so peaceful, happy and without a care in the world!

Hi Luz: Thank you! The child is mine but photo credits go to Jill-Ann Stolley Vick :-)

Hi Myrl: Good to see you! Once we hit a certain age missing a shoe or wearing mismatched socks just doesn't qualify as cute anymore - but can still make for a good chuckle and those are important moments, too!
