Photo taken by big sister (Aliyah, age 4).
Sometimes you look through photos and feel yourself drawn right back into the moment. The sounds whispering through the open window of a couple of birds playing a game of chase and the random car or two driving down the street, while the soft rain-soaked air filters it’s way through the screen. The large, stuffed giraffe laying on the floor, a fallen victim to Brayden’s boyish antics. The way his big round oceans look up at me as he says, “UUUUp, UUUUp,” a clear indication that he’s ready to be held. The way my big girl keeps striving to be just that… a big girl that can handle mommy’s big camera like a pro. And of course any suggestion to be careful with it is heeded with a sigh, a sigh telling me that she knows. And after each few shutter clicks, she runs over to show me, waiting for the proud mama smile to cross my face and I don’t disappoint.
I look at this photo and I remember, I feel, it all. Just us… in the moment.
What photos have you viewed lately that transport you right back to that place in time? Do share.

Ha! Some of us in our 30’s strive to take a shot like that 🙂 I think we should all teach our kids to take more pics so us mama’s are in a few! I’m just amazed she can even hold it up & steady for a pic with ur new heavy one 🙂

Great picture! I have one where my eldest and I are caught from behind holding hands on a beach facing the ocean. It’s in a frame that says Best Buddies. It’s one of my favorites.
