seven.

week seven of fifty-two.

I have to be reminded to take pictures of the very "normal" things sometimes. Everything I hear from those who have walked this parenting road before me is that when I look back on these normal moments in twenty years, I will be flooded with nostalgia and longing for the days when they were "little." 

Also, there are never enough photos of moms. Possibly and probably because we often tend to be  the ones behind the camera, documenting things. Issac was savvy enough to catch this pre-bedtime "book break" to document an extremely normal occurrence around here. 

When things get a little bit too busy or overwhelming or loud, one of us declares a "book break" and everyone gets to choose a story. By the end of three tales, everyone has settled down and the chaos continues as before. The girls love to read and are frequent fliers at the local public library. 
Issac and I are happy that our love for reading has extended into their little lives as well.

  1. love the idea of trying harder to get photos of the "normal" daily things. note to self: do that.
    also, I did a terrible thing. I switched to google+ and forgot to bring your blog link with me (along with quite a few others), but don't fret, I'M BACK! following again :) and now catching up. apologies for tons of comments to follow ;)
