Moments

My kids were running around the back yard together, a 15 year old, 12 year old and 5 year old, enjoying each other on a beautiful evening. Ellie, in her "cowboy boots," shorts and t-shirt, running, giggling and squealing. She cuts right and crosses the endzone with Ben in pursuit. Ben dances into the endzone - though he'd never admit to the lighthearted, playful moment! Nathan, laid back, tossing the football across the yard, waiting for praises for the tight spiral. Playing together! Those are the moments when I wish I could just hit "record" and save it forever in my mind. Or I could take snapshots with my eyes just by thinking it. I love these moments in time, little slices of perfection to top off a great day.

I love my kids!
