It always seems that I'm wishing I had brought my camera or I catch the moment right before or after instead of the one I was trying to capture!
I had one of those moments on Monday night on our way home from our Family Home Evening activity. At our home, the activity is the popular FHE assignment; this week it was Henry's turn to select the activity.. After spending about an hour Ice skating, wall climbing and dance revolutioning(?) we headed home to have our ice cream treats. All three of the kid-os were buckled right next to each other. Usually this causes contention and much "_____ is touching me!" This evening there was a very different noise coming from the back seat. The laughs and giggles were happy and kind. The best best part came when I heard "Mom look at us!" I turned around I saw my kids with their arms wrapped around each other declaring "we're family!"
When I close my eyes I see their smiling faces with arms wrapped around each other and hear their sweet voice declaring each other family. I will forever tuck that Kodak moment in heart and pull it out to remind me how blessed I am to have such beautiful children even though they don't always show it!
