I found this picture…
as I’ve been looking through my enormous stash of family pictures, that are tucked away in a gazillion photo boxes waiting for their moment to come out and shine, and I came across this picture and our life even before Grace.
[I’ve been looking for pictures of Miriam and Emma from when they were little. Posts coming soon just for them before their birthday month is over.]
And if I didn’t have this picture I wouldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t have remembered it.
How is that possible?
Life before Grace? Before Emma or Miriam or Emmett?
I can’t remember…until I look at pictures and they remind me of this amazing, beautiful life I’ve been living.
And these incredibly fantastic people I’m living with…
And all I can think to say is: Wow.
Did we really make it through so much together already?
I’m happy to say that even after all of these years….these are the people I most love to live my life with.
And how lucky am I?
Pretty darn lucky.

aww! What a lovely shot! Isn’t that one of the most amazing things about photographs? They are like little secret keys that unlock treasure chests of memories with 20/20 hindsight clarity. Looking back we always see more than we would have in the moment. Thanks for sharing!
Brooke, you are so right. When I look back so many of the hard days get lost in all of the happiness.
