Each day I'm amazed on how daily life can both be mundane and exciting at the same time.  Life with children has its mundane daily moments - you get them up, give them breakfast then tell them to stop fighting at the table.  You encourage them to stop picking at their nose and instead to pick up their things would be nice.  It never seems to end...actually it never will end while they are young. 

However along with the daily mundane comes "moments" best captured with pictures.  That's my defense to my sanity.

I often don't see how special each day is until I look back at the pictures I've taken of the mundane moments of life.  I watch my kids just enjoy life as they hold their pets, their toys and their smiles at me.  Sometimes I don't get a smile, but a frown - I snap away regardless.  I find much comfort looking back at the pictures captured yesterday wondering how such a simple thing as sleeping can capture the beauty of my child's soul.  The simple pleasure of holding a pet brings light into their day and then you remember what life is about.  Children being what they were made to be - children.  Yes, they mess and make mistakes, but they also love and explore their world.  I hope my daily pictures of their lives show their childhood in just that light.
