MCM - Fuzzy Faces

This was our lunch break at MCM. We were sitting in a little room with about 15 lunch tables, a microwave and vending machines. Caleb had just gotten his face painted and was glowing from a full belly. The natural light through the window was gorgeous and the color was nothing less than vivacious.

I suppose you can say that Caleb taught me a lesson here today. Of course, it took a good ten days to fully sink in, but he taught me that life, in general, is a little fuzzy. If you inspect the photos above, you'll find that all of the goofy faces are crisp and clear, but I couldn't catch a clear smile for the life of me. And look at those smiles?! They are bubbling up from his insides, genuine, warm and utterly happy. Oh how I wanted to catch those smiles!

Now let's parallel to my life lesson. Right before lunch, we "gooped up", or lavishly applied Purell, for fear of germs, but I'm afraid, because germs are quite prevalent at a children's museum, that our Purell job might have been a bit fuzzy. Precisely, three days later, common incubation time for GI bugs, Caleb was throwing up and filling diapers on a multiple-time-per-day basis. Just to make sure the lesson was fully set in, I found myself having similar issues three days after Caleb's bout started.

Not one of my pictures up there is perfect and it's quite obvious that one of my Purell jobs didn't do the trick, but overall the collage of pictures, in my opinion is quite striking, and the weekend was irreplaceable. I certainly would do it all over again, but I'm thinking I'm going to start using the multiple shot per second feature and add an official hand washing to the Purell job. Perhaps that will help clear up the photos and a few more GI bugs.
