At first when Josh sent us these pictures I had a moment where I wished that we would have been dressed in something other than stripes, plaid and an orange jumper. But then I reminded myself that we’d look somewhat ridiculous in a matchy-matchy get up because we aren’t really like that anyhow.
We’re a stripes and plaid family through and through and there isn’t much purpose trying to act like otherwise. Plus, what really matters is that we’ve got these pictures to capture our life right now and look how happy we are. The only thing missing is a lazy Pug named Sydney.
Plus, this is exactly what Maggie looks like when she is super pumped up about something and letting out a high-pitched squeal. Look at her face – she is happy as a tiny clam. Well, a clam that is still in the 90th percentile for height and weight.
See, she doesn’t care if we’re wearing matching outfits or even matching patterns. She just cares that we’ve got index fingers to hold on to and smiles to match with her loud squeals.
Next time that we have Josh take our pictures – and there will be many, many more times – I’m going to remember how much I love these photos, because it isn’t the stripes, plaid and orange that makes us smile, being together is enough for us.
Plus, black and white is always an option!
