This stage of our family right now is a little crazy, a lot of exhaustion and loads of fun! Even though there are nights when I lay in bed and wonder when the tantrums will be gone or the "Eww! I'm not eating that" phase will pass, I wish I could freeze time and enjoy the giggles of an 18 month old or the enjoyment of learning my 10 year old has. I want to remember this stage, always. We had a video made of a typical night at home. Breea Guttery of Tell the Birds, has a gift. She captured the details of our family perfectly and everytime I watch it, (ten times a day) I am overcome with emotion. When I have had a particularly hard day because someone keeps eating the glue sticks, or an entire box cereal is strewn about the kitchen floor, or a lot of back talking has happened, I can escape and watch the highlights of the good and happy and sweet moments. Which I'm hoping in the forthcoming years I turn grey, will be what I mostly remember.
