So many times I get caught up in trying to capture those big events. The first day of school, the trip to the zoo, birthday parties, the church programs. And while it is so great to have pictures of those memorable times in our lives, I know that one day I will look back and wish that I could remember the small things. The way Beckett props his little feet up on the chair while he eats breakfast, the way Levi looks up at his daddy with that little grin, the way my living room floor is always scattered with Brody's gloves and balls, the way it feels to walk into my baby's nursery and see his little blanket with his name on it. I want to quit worrying so much about making sure they are always smiling at the camera, and making sure that the room is picked up before I get a picture. Because these small things are what define our lives right now. These are the things I will miss one day. This is us.
