a tiny moment I want to freeze in time....

Last night I had one of those completely content, completely feel good moments. If you know me, and as my poor Brian can attest to, that does not happen that often. I am pretty antsy in life, always feeling like I should be doing something else or something more, or if I did this, or we had this I would be happy and content (I pray endlessly that God just give me some peace sometimes in my own head, I am sure brian prays for this also).
But last night we were all sitting in the living room, Max was in his excersaucer and I was shoveling sweet peas and oatmeal into his mouth. He was laughing hysterically with his mouth wide open and goopy with green mush. B and Ollie were on the couch reading books, we had re-runs of entourage playing on the t.v. and the white twinkling lights plugged in.
The house was warm, warm with baby laughter, daddies hushed voice reading to ollie and the twinkle of the lights. Moments like these I love, I want to freeze the moment and keep it in my pocket, than maybe I can unwrap that feeling when I am annoyed or antsy and be able to remember why I like my kids and why I like my husband. It is so easy for me to forget.....
