Sometimes I wish life had a pause button. The other day I was in the kitchen chopping bananas to dehydrate (one of Aaron's favorite things) and Becca was sitting at the table doing a little math game, David was sipping hot chocolate because he had just come in from playing in the snow, Emma was in her chair cooing and laughing and Sarah was playing in the snow. There was nice soft Christmas music in the back ground. --PAUSE-- some time the times in life that we want to remember are these, plain, old, ordinary days doing plain old things.
SIGH--unfortunately the kids will grow up, hopefully into beautiful and responsible adults.

Oh, I so agree. It's the sweet "normal" moments that I want to freeze and feel forever. I wish there was a "feelings camera" that could capture those sweet heart swells and tightenings of the throat so that we could pull them out and feel those feelings again someday when they ARE all grown up. My friend just posted on something similar on her blog (the aery beat--it's on my roll). You should read it.
XO it was fun getting together, btw.
The way you described the moment was so neat. I too wish there was a pause button, but I think i would use it a lot during the overnight hours :)~
