enjoying the little things....

most of the day and especially before bed I find myself thinking this same thought..."i just want to always remember ____" and i fill in the blank with something one of my three little ones said or did. a certain look or lingering hug, their little voices and cute sayings, the questions and ideas about simple things, their imaginations and excitement....i want to remember how it felt during that big FIRST milestone and during their snuggles each night before bed. i cant stop thinking....PPPPPPLLLEEEAAASSEE dont forget how precious this very moment is.

already i am dragging my feet, trying to not let their little childhood slip away. trying to make the most of each day. its hard to not get caught up in the busy lists and errands and chores. i'm hoping to take more video,  that will help. and i always think of this quote...

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. by Robert Brault 

here are a few favorite pictures from random parts of our last few weeks...i find myself going back to these ones and just staring. closing my eyes and really cherishing all the happiness and love in these three faces. my three sweet peas. oh man i love being your mommy. 

goodnight snuggles before bed with baby T and his new panda


a fun morning playing at the zoo with Kinsley Jane


last minute dip in the pool with daddy last Friday


early (very early) morning playtime with the littlest two


playdate at the park with friends



this picture just STOPS me ....i see a glimpse of a big girl here. love.


we watched and cheered and had a real parent moment watching our girl at her first soccer practice. so eager and so intent to learn and play.


my happy baby had a healthy checkup which reminds me each day just how thankful i am for that.
