carpe diem (latin) - seize the day

sometimes i get those little reminders to pay a little extra attention to the small stuff. the little moments that today, seem simply ordinary. the ticklish butterfly kisses. the sweet, quiet secrets. the tired head resting against my shoulder. the wild backseat air guitar. the "mommy!! watch this!!". the sticky, adorable popsicle grins. you know - a reminder to quit saying, "okay, in a minute", or "well, maybe later". little reminders to never take those minutes and "laters" for granted, as we can never know what tomorrow may bring...

These are my favorite photos yet. You have captured so much in each one- it is so moving. What you do for families is an incredible gift. I can't wait until it is our turn.
