Everyday moments

There are so many moments that I have captured as our kids are growing up, but for every one, there is no doubt at least another that I don’t have but wish that I did. Whether it was because I thought that I would never forget, or not wanting to spoil the moment by going and getting out my camera, there are many things that I would love to see again:

The joys of a ‘first’ moment; the way Tony used to superman the kids out of the bathroom squealing with laughter; the quiet moments spent cuddled up reading a book; the fascination in the faces of the baby examining the wrinkled skin of a grandparent.

This is an everyday moment. And I don’t want to ever forget it.
