that moment i realized a family picture can indeed happen.
christmas. just us.
camera timer.
that moment i realized all pictures will include this face:
that surprising moment my girl looks up and smiles
without a shrug or a "no. more. pictures. mom."
just a sweet, beautiful smile.
that moment of a heart pitter pattering the instant before opening a gift.
moments of expectation.
that moment on christmas morning when she got to play with the lasso
she had been hoping for.
dear santa, a lasso please.
that moment my kids got to play in snow because
a friend with a big heart sends some via mail. 
your self-timer picture is perhaps one of my favorite of the 5 of you ever. and please do caroline's hair like that everyday.
