I just had to share this one.
It was eight years ago. After giving birth to a very sick baby I was finally able to bring him home. He was yellow with jaundice. His big brother had already taken ownership of him and as a family we felt a total feeling of completeness.
I have always loved this photo, but today, in preparation for a scrapbooking weekend away I dragged it into photoshop, sharpened it up and took out all the colour. Sometimes a colour image holds a lot of distractions. Turning it greyscale allows you to study the image in depth and see its purity.
When I look at this image I can remember the sense of joy I had. I can also remember that feeling of total exhaustion that only the mother of a new born can understand.

Enjoy your weekend away. It is a lovely photo and I dearly want to see your finished page.
Oh, I understand that feeling of exhaustion very well!
Thankyou so much for sharing such a special moment with us.
Simply gorgeous. So agree with black and white photography. What a little sweetie your baby was!!
