This is one of my favorite photos of Natalie. Yet, truth be told this photo was taken on a day that Natalie wasn't acting on her "best behavior." Secretly, I kept waiting for that stage she was in to pass. Now months later I look back at this photo and just feel such joy and sorrow. Joy, that I have been blessed with these wonderful little people. Sorrow, that they are growing so fast. Soon they will be big people with lives and schedules of their own. I am constantly learning to slow down. To take each moment as it comes. To cherish today and realize that each day will be different...good and bad. Experiencing both lets us experience each a little stronger. I say learning because it seems as though for me this is something I have to "relearn" almost everyday. As obstacles come my way I really need to stop and ask myself what is important here? What is God trying to show me? He gives me everything I need if I just take the time to stop and look...and appreciate.

First, I LOVE this picture of Natalie too! Second, what a post...it spoke to my heart! Thanks for sharing. I especially loved the line, "Experiencing both lets us experience each a little stronger." That is good to point out.
