THESE ARE THE MOMENTS...


i want to remember these things for ALWAYS.

when i walk through the room,
on a mission to find something,
in order to move on to the next thing,
that i think must be done,
i want to stop more and take in my surroundings.

so i don't miss THESE moments.
the moments when i'm overwhelmed
with thankfulness for the LITTLE things,
that in reality are the BIG things.




"a MOMENT lasts all of a SECOND,










but the MEMORY lives FOREVER."

Those "snapshot moments" are the ones worth stoping to breathe in and allow your memory to capture!!Adelaider-Kater and Buddy are so very precious and cherished parts of my heart. You and Evan are doing such a fabulous job modeling joy, fun, taking advantage of teachable moments, and loving those precious little souls in your care! What blessed children they are to be yours! Seriously, Annalee, you teach me the kind of mother's heart I yearn to have. Thank you for being one of my favorite mentors teaching me how to live life well and to love deeply. Thanks for being the best version of YOU. :) I love you, friend! Blessings rest on the McCords.
