Whew! Have I been busy! Designing, scrapping, working, kids, house, you know….just everyday stuff. Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to enjoy life. We should take pleasure in housework, caring for the family, cooking, because that IS what life is. It is wonderful stuff…how long do we get to tuck our little ones in, cook a meal for the whole family and share it together, read books with the kids, watch the birds feeding their babies in the backyard? I love doing all of this stuff, but sometimes we just forget to really take it in and savor it. We get so busy thinking about what we need to do next.
I think that is why I love to scrap just normal everyday moments. Preserving our everyday lives, not just the vacations, school events, baptisms, and sports. It will be so meaningful to remember those birds in the backyard, Matt (my oldest) planting those flowers, Caleb (the baby) playing in the rain, Christian (middle son) jumping as high as he could. Those are the things that make life so sweet. Those are the moments that fade the quickest because they are not planned, or even intentionally caught on film. So when they are photographed, they are even more important. Those are the moments that will bring tears to our eyes when we remember them in the future. Just being…….
