The Rosy Life: Special moments.

I love taking pictures. Sometimes I'm silly and tell Brett I wish my eyes would function like a camera. I could blink and capture an image instantly. Wouldn't that be neat?

I like pictures so much because there's just something about capturing special little moments here and there that add up to such a happy hodgepodge life.

My mom and dad pointed out these birds outside the window and I ran to get a different lens for the camera to try to capture them. Just gorgeous! I love yellow, it is definitely my favorite color. Of course I could find all sorts of inspirational meaning in a photo like this.....the bright color in the midst of all that dreary grey. Like spring for the soul.

We are a book loving family. More than anything though, we're a kid loving family. We try to keep the house where most things are okay for the girls to get and play with. One day I spotted Anna Ruth reaching to look at some of my books.......special.

We also love music! I don't even remember what the name of this instrument is but Anna's "Uncle Jack" brought it over one day. It is a favorite of hers to get down off the shelf and play. She also likes to play the piano and we sing all day long it seems. I feel rather like Julia Andrews a lot of the time. Which is just funny because I remember saying once I would "Never teach kindergarden because they sing so much." Never say never.

Anna Ruth followed me outside one day and I looked up to see this lovely sight. Isn't she hysterical? She had put her baby doll dress on her head, placed just so........I guess for a hat?! So, so funny.

Another special moment, indeed!

Betsy Grace's smile is one of the most special, favorite parts of my days. Her eyes are piercing, she loves a good staring session. Well really both our girls do. They have a serious look down pat. But there's something about Betsy's smile...it just melts you. She's a snuggler too, which I like a lot. I could cuddle her all day!
