After our latest family photo saga (the whole process seems to take an ungodly amount of time and effort), I looked at this photo and thought:
That’s a helluva lotta work, right there!
Not my most generous thought ever, but for some reason the whole weight of the last 20 years descended upon me at once, and I felt proud and grateful but also overwhelmed at the hugeness of the task I’ve lived (and I’m sure the years ahead loomed large in there somewhere as well.)
Do you ever stand back and just say, Wow!?

Yes, usually when I can actually see the floor and the kitchen bench at the same time…and when I realise what great kids the boys are. 🙂 Gorgeous picture.
Thank you!
