new kitties!

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Gracie has new kitties. 

She loves them.

She named them, takes good care of them, protects them from her little siblings, and put green collars on them.

Her bed is always as messy as a busy person’s desktop at the office.  This picture is deceiving because I had helped her clean it off some.  Of books, pencils, the dsi, games, puzzles, and empty food dishes!  My girl.

I adore her. 

That’s why this is more than just a picture of cute kittens.  For me, it’s a snapshot perfumed with the “right now” of my very precious 11 year old daughter, who is growing up right before my eyes. 

Captured, to remember.

Happy weekend to you~

 

{two moments}

 

 

This week has been FULL of especially precious moments for me.  I will share the two I actually got pictures of.  Both of these were taken with my iphone. 

 

This has been a busy week of VBS.  One night, I was able to leave early with Seth and Sarah, and let Rich stay to bring the other children home.  I was distracted all the way by a gorgeous sunset; it was so beautiful to me at the end of a busy day that I pulled into a parking lot to take a picture of it.

Imagine what the sky will look like when Jesus someday appears!

beautiful sunset

I had to take this next picture last night, for Rich.  He is away on a business trip and I knew he would like to see the children around the dinner table.

Oh how we love eating together, laughing and talking over a good meal.  It’s always chaotic, but I know that it will be missed terribly when the day arrives that they are grown and gone………

dinnertime!

 

 

I would just love it if you would  maybe *pretty please* share a special little moment from your week, for us all to read and smile over, in the comments section.
