Simple Sundays

My favorite day of the week always goes by so fast. The kids relish having Daddy home ALL DAY and they always have a list of "Daddy Fun Day' activities. No matter how busy the day gets, I always try to pay attention to the little details and soak them up. My kids are used to me following them around all day with my camera, and I sometimes have to remind myself to take it off and join in the fun.

I get a lot of really good pictures of my children. I think it's because I trained them early on with chocolate. Now they hear the beep of my camera's focus and look up and smile. It's hilarious. My favorite pictures, though, are sometimes the one's where no one is looking, esp when it's S.T. with the girls.
I love this picture for so many reasons. Every Sunday, S.T. blow drys the girls' hair. It's their thing. Jack wanted to join in the fun, but was having a hard time supporting himself and lifting his arm up. Maggie is helping him, even though it meant that she got bonked in the head with the brush a couple of times. I love that she is giving him the support he needs without doing it for him. I love that she learned that from us and that she recognizes that she's doing good. I love that my husband takes care of his girls and is teaching them how they deserve to be treated.

I love Sundays.
