Re: (...)
I took this picture the other evening. Okay, so this is sort of like taking a picture of a lightening strike or a comet that comes by every 50 years or something rare like that.
Here are the circumstances:
Both my kids are:
-clean (they just had their bath)
-smiling (someone is always either mad or crying or both)
-hugging each other (usually if they are close enough to touch, someone ends up crying)
You may notice two other things with this picture. Maggie lost her front tooth (the natural way). And see how that hug could easily turn into a headlock...

Isn't it wonderful when you have these moments!! I remember the first time four of the kids (& boy/girl friends) sat around the table just yakking one afternoon. What a delight.
That's certainly a keeper picture!

That's a beautiful photo, Laura. I would be framing that one. They certainly look like happy children. If only they could be that way all the time...

Precious Moments! How great to capture them in a photo. My grandkids are about that age now and we can't get enough when it comes to pictures of them; they're changing so quickly.

Great shot. Hang on to it tightly, you may never see another like it. LOL.
You have beautiful kids.
And I know what you mean about the "head lock" been there, done that. My kids are in their mid 40's so believe me these moments end fast.

Laura - You have a couple of really cute kids. I remember the school age days and miss them sometimes. Each phase has its joys. The picture definitely needs to be in a frame for all to see!

My kids were 14 months apart. It was 8 years before I was sure I had given birth to my same species. That's how much they fought.
