Savoring Moments

Each year (with Gracie), I get less and less over-emotional. I still find myself "emotional," just less and less over the top.

Gracie looked beautiful and confident this morning in the dress and hair bow and cast wrap her mommy made her (so thankful she still lets me do this!!), and she looked tall. Really tall.

In the picture anyway.

I snap these first day of school pictures for me, and family and for her.  But in that moment she looks just like she did the very first day she ever left me for school.  That was 6 Septembers ago, but I see her so small and so happy and precious and anxious and excited.  A time when her little hand fit in mine and I never wanted to let it go.


Cherish these days moms & dads. These first days of school, these fall moments, the spring and summer ones too.  They are so fleeting, Soak them in, savor them so that you will always be able to take yourself back to those precious moments.  They are more than pictures, they are experiences and feeling and emotions. 

They are love.

They are hard.

They are wonderful.

They are pride. 

They are gone all too quick.
