WINDOW VIEW

Have you ever had one of those moments when you are viewing the world around you and feeling so grateful to be in that very moment of time and wanting to just freeze it and take it in a little longer? 

Well, that was me on this particular Friday afternoon as I was watching my girls from a window playing, laughing, and dancing so peacefully together. 

I did what I sometimes do (ok, maybe a little more than sometimes)

 and I froze the moment the best I knew how.  My camera. 

I even caught a glimpse of this boy doing what he

 does the moment he gets home from school.

It's hard to believe that in less than 24 hours this is

 what I viewed from a different window of that very same house.

I'm pretty sure I can see my boys lips beginning to stretch in both directions

 while aiming at his friends. This is a bit disturbing.

Kids have a way of bringing out a roller coaster of emotions that can switch back and forth more quickly than you realize.
