Reflections

I'm not gonna lie, the last few weeks (months?) have been pretty tough around here. The wear-and-tear of the crappy schedule continues to take its daily toll, combined with the stress and chaos surrounding hosting Thanksgiving, 3/4 of us have suffered through our first cold virus of the season, and 2-year-old molars are coming in. Throw all of this in the blender with the desires and opinions of two [very] strong-willed 26-month-olds, and temper tantrums abound.

As a result, when precious moments come our way I embrace them.

I photograph them,

I document them,

and I promise myself that I will remember them when things get hard again. Like when I feel like I'm constantly being tested. Or when I feel like I'm failing as a parent (or wife or [insert any other role here...]). 

I WILL remember these moments.

(especially Phil Collins singing "You'll Be In My Heart" in the background).

As a parent, you have so many concerns. To see this kind of loving and close relationship between same-aged siblings grow, I feel like we must be doing some things right.

 Right?

Right.
