a perfect moment

i had a moment today where i was feeling kind of down. i was in the middle of cooking dinner and hannah and libby both were in the kitchen with me, both talking and making noise. when i came out of my own thoughts and tuned into what was happening around me and realized that it really doesn't get any better than this. hannah was singing her own invented song and hula hooping, libby was in her exersaucer staring at hannah and talking to her as loudly as she could (about wanting said hula hoop, no doubt. she wants EVERYthing her big sister has.). i just had to soak all that in. it may sound like a simple every day kind of thing, but i know that those are the times i really need to stop and try to enjoy and remember.

here's some pics from another great moment today. i had the girls in hannah's bed and was reading to them, when hannah thought it would be fun for libby to lay on top of her.
