Randomness at Home

As my kids have gotten older, the to-do lists have gotten longer, the sibling bickering and chaos has increased and the picking up/laundry/feeding can feel non-stop.  It's so easy to loose sight of the joy, to miss those little moments that really are important and although they don't feel like it, more than make up for the times of stress.  I am crazy about taking pictures - it's annoying really, but I enjoy it.  I love capturing random moments at home where smiles are genuine and hearts are happy.    Here are some of those moments fromthis past Spring...

Luke earned a new Lego set

Pigtails

Superhero day at school

Boz isn't so sure but Ryan had a blast

Waving goodbye to a random "man" he saw in parking lot.  Desperately trying to get his attention.
