I've been thinking a lot lately
just about how summer's nearly over
wishing that perhaps we'd done something big
take a trip
have an adventure
but then I got to thinking
we had a really good summer
made up of so many rich little moments
I loved it
and I wouldn't trade it for a trip or an adventure
they're so happy being home
with such simple pleasures
I know it won't last forever
and soon they won't be as easy to please
a few weeks ago Mike took Micah down the big slide at State Fair
he was all smiles and me and Eden loved watching
but as soon as he realized it was over
he wasn't thrilled
he actually threw a fit
it must have been quite the thrill
then there was the moment at the fair where I just had a moment of my own
such gifts
as hard and difficult as they sometimes make something
they make life so beautiful
enchanting at times
then I saw this picture
and I almost ran upstairs with a scissors
thinking I'd just cut his hair in his sleep
then I realized it's Eden's hair
and she's just sitting next to him
phew
I was so scared that I could be that oblivious
these little moments though
they're just everywhere
in nearly every picture that I look back on
there they are
I'm in awe
thrilled
and so glad that I'm not the only one that thinks so
