won't let a moment slip away

A smattering of the over 1000 photos on my phone's camera roll.

I'm so blessed to have all these little vignettes of our days, good and bad. Tomorrow, a friend will bury her son. And today, the parents of a friend of the girls are separating.

There are good things, lots and lots of good things going on, as well.

But, I'm feeling the push to not let the little things pass me by.

Won't let another moment slip away...

this one's for the McGrands

A little now and then...

does she remember?

Tonight I was singing a few songs that I used to hum or sing before Em and Roo were born. Em hopped up and ran to me. She curled into a ball and laid her head on my tummy and listened to me sing with her ear against my hip bone.

Three and a half years ago she resided there for several months, head down, in that same position, on that same right side. When I finished singing, she jumped up nuzzled against my chest and then ran back to the window seat.

It's funny, but now that I think about it, Roo most enjoys snuggling tucked into my left side, head up. And when the girls roll around in bed together, they usually, unconsciously, resume their in-utero positions. Head to foot, facing inward towards each other. Kicking, laughing, rolling, playing.

Maybe it's time to pull out the ultrasound footage and see what they have to say about it.
