WW – Capturing Moments

April 1, 2009 by Elaine


This past Monday I found myself outside with my boys in the late afternoon, taking pictures, playing “ball” and watching them eat their lollipops that I gave into, because well, I’m easy like that – what can I say?
I was glad to have my camera near by when they both decided to sit in my lap and act picture-ready.
After they got back up, busy with their little boy activities,I realized how lucky I was to be there with them, in that moment and how thankful I am that I get many moments like this with my children. Yes, there are times when I want to sell them to the lowest bidder (okay, not really, it’s just an expression!) but the joy they bring to my life is truly overwhelming at times. And these are the memories I want to wrap up and keep FOR-EVER.
There’s more WordFUL Wednesday fun to be had at Seven Clown Circus!
P.S. You can still enter my giveaway here, all you have to do is link up to an old post. I’m still reading them, so go link and enter! : )

    They are so precious. I love that we are living in the digital age. It makes it that much easier to hold onto memories and moments. It sounds like they are very lucky to have a Mama that loves them so much. Happy WW!

    That’s only an expression? No wonder no one bids when I ask…I thought they just didn’t like my kids.

    😉

    Those are great pictures and you are right, we have to treasure those moments. They are fleeting and soon will just be a distant memory!

    Thank goodness for those moments, or we’d all go insane! That’s why kids are so darn cute, to melt our hearts in a minute and then go about making a mess, lol. God love the little buggers.
    Happy WW and congrats on your newest team player…you’re gonna need a bigger lap ;D
