Stolen Moments

I hear a strange noise in the garage, and I open the door to discover Joel and Nathan, 4 and 2 - normally striving against eachother - working together, whirling, squealing and bubbling over with laughter on the Sit-n-Spin. Lost in their communal joy, they don't notice me. I sneak upstairs to get my camera, and find the batteries hopelessly dead.

Please Lord, allow me to keep this image in my heart forever. How I love to stumble upon the little, stolen moments of our family that too often go by unnoticed.

That's sweet! I hope our girls will do the same when they get a little older.
