Memories Captured

Time has a way of passing, often without realization or acknowledgement. Routine and the daily repetition of life, often clouds our view, preventing us from seeing those minuscule changes in our children. In what seems like overnight, they are different, changed.  At times nearly unrecognizable as facets of their personalities emerge, and their sense of self becomes stronger.
My girls are becoming independent creatures with distinct personalities and preferences. With each new day, I find myself in a constant state of wonder.
How did they get so big?
So smart?
So perfect?

The lovely Galit of These Little Waves and the fabulous Alison of Mama Wants This are hosting a link up entitled Memories Captured. We are encouraged to take a moment and reflect. Combine a favorite photo with text that captures a moment, and share.
For a moment, I did just this. I soaked up my girls as they are, at nearly two and almost four years. I could not help but fall in love with them again. My lovie girl and Sunshine.

    I love your girls' names...
    and they're adorable!
    But ever since they brought a new Marina on board, I can't get behind the Fresh Beats...
