Moments

So yesterday as I was typing, Kyra sat at the table eating and I
turned around to ask her if she wanted to read books and take a nap.
She said "uh-huh" so sweetly, so I thought ok just let me finish this
email and then I'll put her down.  I turned around not 2 minutes later
and found her on the chair sound asleep. It was so cute.

  I love moments like this
 The third picture is from our family
reunion this last weekend.  I love watching little people discover the
world.  It makes me sad when I realize this is the last time any of my
kids will be awed by water, or discover how their fingers work or

figure out they can take their diaper off and run free anytime they
want. (this is my favorite age) I've heard screaming more than a few 
times lately from the kids that Kyra is out where the neighbors are
going to see her naked. And look what I found today sound asleep

We are moving up to bigger, better, more
complicated concepts.  I'm going to miss the simpleness of little
ones.  But then they grow up, the other night I got home and Bryanna
had Kyra wrapped in a blanket rocking her in the rocking chair.
Another moment. 
  In all the chaos that usually rules my house, life is also
full of moments.  You know, the kind that make it all worth it, or
least make you feel like your moving in the right direction.
Sometimes they are obvious and sometimes they are a little hidden.
They seem to pop up at the most random moments.  At least around here. 
But when they do come, I love them and cherish them.

Beautiful, Bryn. You expressed my own sentiments perfectly. That's what I love about being a grandmother - Suddenly you realize you get to re-enjoy and re-live those experiences your own children outgrew that you miss. Thanks for providing so many joyful re-opportunities :).
