It's been an interesting week for photographing things around here. Basically, having the kids home for two days due to extreme cold had me feeling, well, not deeply in love with anything.
But I did manage to capture one moment. One very special moment that is indicative of our life. And I thought for the beginning of "All Four Love" it was a perfectly one to share.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, this post explains it better. (And it's not too late to join in!)
The theme for this week was Loved Deeply...
I admit, there are moments when I don't feel I love deeply enough. There are days when I wonder if my husband and kids got the leftover crumbs of my love.
But there are other moments when I know they have my whole heart. Days when, in an instant, I stop and take note.
Like the other day, Adam was rushing out the door to work. He doesn't usually rush in the morning, but on this day, I think he had an early meeting. As he was getting ready to leave (literally, he had everything ready to go), Sam, sitting at the kitchen counter, said "Daddy? Will you play with me? Just for a minute?"
And who can resist a lisp like our Hobbit's?
Not his daddy, that's for sure.
My camera was right beside me so I snapped a few pictures...because I wanted to remember how my husband does this. Stops everything for our kids. I'm not quite as adept in that area.
(Aren't you jealout of our 1980's gold rimmed fireplace? But I'm trying to be better about not whining about our rental. So, that was just an observation. Not a complaint.)
This isn't a moment out of the ordinary. This is typical, and that's why I think it's so much more important to document it.
Adam picks up the toys and enters right in to Sam's world. Just like that.
...moments that someday, when the lisp is gone and he wears something other than pajamas, Sam will always remember.
Yeah, that's the kind of thing that makes me love deeply in this world. There's nothing else like it!

Have a wonderful weekend!! I'm heading down to Colorado Springs for a writer's conference and I cannot wait to keep learning how to craft a better book.
P.S. I keep playing with my font choices here on the ol' bloggio and I can't seem to settle on one. I promise eventually I'll figure out what I like and keep it consistent. Eventually.
