Zoom In Zoom Out

stylized photo of Dave and Mikey having lots of fun

Mikey loves to wave his arms in big sweeping motions and lean forward and back, giving the effect of zooming in and zooming out.  Recently, he was on the couch with Dave doing this and we all got to laughing so hard – it was the funniest!

3 photos of mikey and Dave zooming in and out on each other while sitting on the couch. "I am silly with daddy."

I thought you might find inspiration in the simple ways we find joy along this journey.
