For me, it's that thing your kids do that moves your emotional needle, that makes your subconscious grab your phone to capture a picture or video. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ, never quite the same as you witnessed them. But what if we could ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ those ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ and then ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ them to relive and share? ๐ค Let me tell you about one of my "made" ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ผ๏ธ๐๐ฝ It was just another Saturday afternoon, with nothing special planned. Maybe that's why I felt the urge to take the boys for a walk. We headed to a patch of fields near our home to wander and watch the sun set. I don't often get uninterrupted quality time with my kids. That's why I like taking them to nature, for some ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ "๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐" like pecan trees and each other. I try to soak up as much of it as I can, especially that feeling of connection. After picking every leaf and examining the insects, we sat down on the earth, each with his collection of sticks (and a shared lollipop!), quietly contemplating our findings under the soft setting sun๐
. Yes, it was somewhat orchestrated. I wanted these few hours to be enjoyed forever whenever I look at that picture again. ...I'm looking at it now, and it brings back those feelings. Both grandmothers printed and framed that picture! ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐๐น! What's a simple activity that always creates ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ with your kids? โจ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ฟ๐!
