Little Moments

You know that moment, right?  When you suddenly notice a stillness that has settled over your usually-bustling household.  No yelling, no tv, just... quiet.  Generally this means that the kiddos are up to no good.

But not this day.  It was after homework time when I noticed the freakish hush in my own home.  Instead of finding a child sitting in a toy basket with one end of a rope tied to the top bunk and the other to the bookcase (true story, peeps), I discovered this:

Even now, looking at this picture, I can feel the reverence in the room.  They were sitting, chatting about the pictures they were making and what sound the letter "B" makes.  Even the wee-one was sitting next to Adi's chair happily chewing on a marker.

It was amazing.  It was phenomenal.  It is a moment that I will be forever grateful that I captured.

The words to Mr. Rob Thomas's song comes to mind,
                      
                         "Our lives are made
                      In these small hours
                      These little wonders
                      These twists and turns of fate
                      Time falls away,
                      But these small hours
                      Still remain."
