There are certain looks about your children that evoke unexplainable emotion. At times, my 7 year old looks at me and I remember seeing the exact same look in a picture of myself. I immediately grab the camera, but its usually too late. Other times while my 5 year old is sleeping, I look at her and flash back to when she was a baby. She still curls up and rests her little head on her hands just like when she was a toddler. And just as she stretches to wake, she scrunches her nose up and arches her back just as she did in those first few days at home. These fleeting glances and moments of peace are a challenge to capture; but when I do, I’m so grateful. I find myself staring at the print, my eyes welling up with tears as I thank God for giving me such a precious gift (my children more than the picture, of course).
