Little moments

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
