You are the only one who knows your story...tell it your way with help and ideas from the This Is Me Challenge!
So far, so good on my goal to capture the simple moments of my life! This is the second Simple Things Sunday I’m linking up to for January!
I thought this was so precious the other evening when I noticed my 7 year old reading to my 2 year olds! I had told them all to go read, but didn’t expect them to all sit in the recliner reading together. I tell you, nothing makes this momma’s heart go pitter patter more than seeing moments like these!
Go here to see more simple inspiration from others!
Almost everyday I have one of those heart fluttering moments. You know, one of those surprise moments that emits pure happiness. One of my boys holding my hand or giving me a surprise kiss. Seeing one of my boys give his brother a random hug. A certain look from my husband that still gives me butterflies. Watching my boys laugh. Seeing my husband “wrestling” with the boys. There are so many simple, happy times that happen in my life—and often they come and go so quickly that they are but a fleeting memory.
Awhile ago, I extended a bonus challenge to record some simple things in your life. I’m once again extending that challenge—because it’s really not just a one-time thing. And as for me, I’m going to be linking up to the Simple Things Sunday at least twice a month—an accountability if you will, to help remind me to look more for the simple, everyday things in my life, and to record them too! My boys will not be this young forever, and I want to remember these special, simple moments. Moments that make my heart pitter-patter!
So, here’s my first one of 2012: Christmas day was filled with excitement for all of us. My in-laws came over in the afternoon, the time my twins usually go down for naps, so we kept them up. Pretty soon we could see their eyelids getting heavy, and my oldest twin laid down on his big brothers new sleeping bag and fell asleep under the lights of the Christmas tree. It was too perfect and precious to not photograph!
I was playing around a bit with post-processing, and came across this lovely, dreamy finish. Which do you like better?
