Heather talks about overcoming depression on today's Momversation.
- Leta: "STOP FOLLOWING ME, COCO!"
I wonder where she picked up that exclamation.
- Me: "Hey Marlo, here's a vibrantly colored, squeaky toy made specifically for your age group!"
Marlo: "Got any knives?"
- @makeandtakes my pleasure! Had a great time with you guys!

What a cool picture. It's the simple things in life that makes you so blessed!
6. Lorie said:
Yes, we are so blessed. You have a lovely front porch!! And I'm reminded again how much Leta looks like Jon - scary. I look forward to your photos everyday! But Chuck needs to be in every single one of them ;)
7. debbie said:

What a wonderful photo. Peaceful and poetic.
Have a wonderful weekend.
10. brittney said:
Indeed.
P.S. I am actively coveting your fancy camera.
11. jeff said:
Nice picture. I love the shots you take and the way you frame them.
12. Kath said:
What, no Chuck?? :-)
Happy Weekend in UT!
13. Stacey said:
it's not luck, dooce. it is the beautiful destiny you deserve for the hard work you put in to achieve this and the strength and ability to recognize it. it's all in the moments, babe.
14. Michelle said:
I agree with Stacey - you deserve every moment you have; we all do. Most of us just need to remember to slow down long enough to recognize them.
15. Torrie said:
With so many great pictures how do you decide which ones to frame?
16. Mir said:
As much as I love this picture, and the one from yesterday, I am now picturing you hiding in the bushes with your camera. Hee.

19. Jenny said:
That is a lovely picture.
20. Christen said:
What a beautiful family you have.
21. Zef said:
I'm amazed.
But come on, share the secret info about the lens :) That has to be something like 2.8 L.
22. Grace said:
Lovely shot (as usual)!
In my opinion, the daily photo feature is the very best part of your splendid redesign... You are a very talented photographer.
23. Very Mom said:
I'm with Grace, I love the daily photo. And this one is so lovely.
24. Shiz (Sharon) said:
Sooooo beautiful.
Beautiful photo, beautiful family.
And I am sooooooooo happy that you are able to enjoy it all now more than ever. Still rooting for you. Your candor helps us all.
Cheers.

The photo's perspective is fabulous. It looks like a professional photographer took the picture. (your camera is regular or digital?)I just got a digital and am just as hopeless with it as I was with my 35 mm;however, at least I know I'm hopeless right after I take the picture--immediate feedback versus a couple weeks later.
26. Regan said:
I love that picture! Even if the perspective is a little stalkerish. ;) Can't wait for tomorrow's pic!
27. Jazzy said:
Beautiful. He reminds me of mix between Kevin Spacey and maybe John Cusack. Lucky lady you are. Enjoy your peace.
28. Carrie said:
What a wonderful picture! You guys make me smile every time I visit either of your sites.
29. Melissa said:
I swear to God, that camera captures the most beautiful moments!!! I need to get me one of those!!!
30. Colette said:
I never quite understood your want to eat your daughter until seeing this photo.
31. Kristin said:
I just started reading dooce.com just before the redesign, and I was devoted, but now that my browser is letting me see the pictures I'm even more devoted.
32. Rachel said:
What a fantastic photo. Have you ever considered freelancing as a photographer? I would certainly pay you. Your pictures are so moving and filled with emotion. I'm so glad that you are healing and wish you and your beautiful family all the best every day.
33. aibee said:
with this one photo, you've captured what life is all about.
34. maxigumee said:
Ohmigawsh! You're the PAPARAZZI!!!! Jon's paparazzi!
35. Michelle said:
Sweet but slightly stalker-ish!!!
36. Super Turtle Girl said:
You deserve it. Did he see you taking the photo? It looks like he didn't.
37. patricia said:
I swear to god, I have to stop reading this website or I'll want t have a kid of my own. Mindblowing.
38. Kristen said:
Wow. Wow. And wow again.
39. Kathleen said:
Great pic! You can totally tell that Leta is seconds away from gobbling her own feet.
40. amy said:
Oh yeah.. incredible shots like this one are going to look fantastic in the compilation book that you are going to sell to publishers.. you ARE going to do it aren't you??
41. Jo said:
If that pictures doesn't say 100,000 words, I don't know poetry --
42. Angela said:
Wow - I love it... You take such lovely photos.
43. DeAnn said:
You ARE lucky.
And so are they!
44. Lena said:
That photo fills me up and makes me ache all at the same time. How lucky you are to have such a beautiful family and how luck we all are to be here.
45. ari said:
Wonderful Pic....but is it just me or Dooce has been hidding out in that tree/bush for the last few days?
46. Mari said:
That, is just gorgeous.
47. gerrybuick said:
Heather B.
Yeah, Porcelian does totally show Jons look.
You really nailed the feeling of the shot, Blessings, WOW, yes.
Now about you building a photoblind in your front yard...
First the Lookout, now Blessings
cool!
last comment: you may assert more cowbell, I think its a diversion,
"now with more poop" could also be the tag line.
Love ya (see I can speak Utahian).
48. supermana said:
I seriously think Nikon should pay you in some way or another because I swear I am going to get that D70 one day. And this is coming from someone who swore she would only take pictures with a Canon. Your photos inspire me!
49. Peter Hentges said:
Loving the photos and the way the redesign lets you highlight little bits (like How To Charm Me) that didn't get as much attention before. Contined best wishes to you and family.
50. Michael said:
Awesome photo. John looks like my ex in that photo--maybe because it seems like you're spying on him through the bushes.
This is my new favorite part of your site. :)

In all astounding things,
In the occupation of the world by roses,
I believe that love has wings of gold. Amen."
Looses something in the translation but.
52. Jayne said:
Beautiful.
You have a great eye - and I agree with some of the other posts - makes me want a D70 for myself. I've got some lesser digital camera that I got ages ago and I can't stand the lag time before the shot is actually taken. So I'm using film again instead, which is fine, but then I have to scan everything into the computer.
Nikon should pay you some sort of commission for the free advertising....
53. Nikki said:
And you can see it in his eyes.
54. Gordon said:
While this is a most beautiful picture, he does kinda have the look of "Great, the paparazzi are after me again"
55. Mish said:
Awww....
56. Laura B said:
that's probably one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen! I can just picture Jon watching you wander around taking stalker pics while he held your gorgeous Leta.
both of my babies had severe asthma... I feel you completely on the not fun stuff… I used to have to sandwich my son in-between my legs while putting him in a headlock to get him to take his breathing treatments... he’s going to be 11 in a few weeks and just the thought of having to do that again makes me grab him up in my arms and ignore his protests of being squashed.
You’re doing so fabulously hon… and you have nothing but mad love coming from Napa, CA.
xoxo,
Laura
