It’s been a while since I shared some of those moments I never want to forget, not that there hasn’t been a ton of them – I just sorta kinda forgot. As always these moments are all captured with my iPhone.
remember forever
Over the weekend I was looking through old photos from when Harlow first came into our lives, the overwhelming bitter-sweetness was almost too much. Why does time have to move so quickly as soon as we have kids? I need to do my best to soak every single moment up, to capture moments I never want to forget before they fly by and get much better at ignoring everything expect for them when I am with them.
NOTE: these are all iphone photos, my in pocket memory catcher.
Way too many “I never want to forget this” moment happen in a day, and these are just a small few from our holidays. Today is back to reality day, everyone in our house is either okay or happy about that – except for little Harlow, she is missing her big brother something fierce!
NOTE: these are all iphone photos, my in pocket memory catcher.
I truly struggled with posting today, after the events in Newton, Connecticut on Friday everything seems trivial and I actually feel extremely selfish. My heart is heavy, my heart hurts for those families who have lost. I feel selfish talking about my sadness and how the events have affected my heart – when nothing on earth can compare to the pain, sadness and loss those families who had children ripped from them, are feeling. I feel selfish posting photos of my children being happy, I feel selfish enjoying things that feel trivial after Friday, I feel selfish being thankful for the lives and loves I am blessed with.
But I also feel the need to continue to find joy in the simple (maybe even now trivial things), I am so very thankful for that these two little people that call me Mommy. Thankful they fill our lives with so much joy, and for that I will do my best to keep them from growing up in a dark world. The only way I know how to keep them from the dark is to keep them in the light, filled with the happiness and joy that we create. So I continue to share moments I never want to forget, even though right now they make me feel very selfish – because not only do I never want to forget how my kids put their boots on the wrong feet, I never want to forget those sweet children the world lost on Friday.
To the families in Newton, Connecticut: we grieve with you, send love to you, you are in all our thoughts – your beautiful children will not be forgotten, WE want to remember them forever.
So many more moments that happen daily that I never want to forget, but these are some of those extra special ones I am thankful to have captured with my iphone camera.
NOTE: all are iPhone photos, so the quality of the photos may not be A+. The memory is, which trumped the quality.
Just a few of the little moments that we recently had that I never want to forget.
PS. Hope everyone is staying safe from Hurricane Sandy, she is slowly making her way up to us and we should get the tail end of her by tomorrow. Thinking about you East Coasters that will get the grunt of her meanness.
Just a few of the most recent special moments I sorta never want to forget, and by sorta I mean for sure.
At first I thought this would be a series I did only once or twice, but each week I post a new I want to remember forever I have a hard time editing down to just a few – so I think she’s sticking around for a while.
