These day-to-day moments are my treasures! I love having hundreds of pictures of what happens during normal life, even if the pictures are blurry or dark. Before church yesterday the kids looked so bright and Sunday fresh! I told them I needed a picture to warm my heart when I'm old and my babies are all grown up. They did their best to oblige. Last night I was marveling at the different forms of intensity in parenthood, from sheer exhaustion to heart-bursting joy, from grumpy irritation to utter hilarity. What an amazing life this is.
