Time Capsule

Maybe it's the slew of birthdays we wade thru at the beginning of the year or perhaps it's the fact that I'm fairly certain baby R is our last child; but lately I'm hyper-aware of how quickly my children are growing and changing. I love this photo because it's a complete freeze frame of our families current personalities and dynamics. Behold:


J: Chill
Me: "Suck in stomach!"
Little Miss: Bright and sunny
E: Stubborn McPoutypants
L: Hyper McCrazypants
Baby R: Happy as long as he's held


Cracks me up every time.
