ten images from this day in our lives

This is my first time participating in the "ten on ten" photo project. To read about the project, click here. We had a busy day today, but taking the time to keep my camera out and snap a photo every hour during our day of our randomness really did help me find the beauty in the simplistic things we did today. The images I captured are things that happen pretty much every day around here. But they are anything but boring if I remember to present myself to each moment. From (top 2 images) starting the day opening the blinds and looking out to see what kind of weather we will have - while also searching the yard for birds, cats, or squirrels (and notice how little sister is desperately trying to climb up onto the windowsill like her big bro) - to (images 3-4) having my little monkeys "help" me make our bed, to (image 5) running up and down the hallway countless times - and the new, pretty sweet thing if you ask me, is how my kidlets like to hold hands and walk together. (Images 6-7) From playing cars to (image 8) having Aspen wake him from his nap (car still in hand) to (last 2 images) bathtime, whew, the days sometimes seem long, but at the same time, fly by so quickly.

I love my children and I love the moments we shared together today.

And now, it is time to go rest and relax. Well deserved by all of us :)

Nighty-night.
