kisses
In a family of seven,
sometimes the touching, the climbing on, the hugging
andtappingandpushingandpulling
and the kissing
are quite a lot by the end of the day.
Actually, as I captured this first picture,
I suddenly realized that I had a 3 year old around my neck.
Very literally.
I asked her to sit next to me instead.
She didn't really agree.
Even yet, I'm so thankful for these days.
They will be gone so quickly.
Soon enough, they won't want to hold my hand.
They won't want to be held and snuggled and kissed.
So today?
We embraced it.
And captured it.
I'm so thankful.

Love those pictures...and your babies are adorable!
