Magical Moments

I love my kids. I love watching my kids experience their new activities. BUT most of all, I LOVE watching my kids make eye contact with me during their moments. It's a magical sign of appreciation of our SUPPORT, our LOVE, and our ENTHUSIASM for them. It's a magical moment that really no words can express...............but maybe a quiet understanding of mutual ACCEPTANCE & LOVE.


All finished with his lesson. He hardly comes up for air the whole half hour. Busy little beaver.

DETERMINED

Hand stands and somersaults are accomplishments of the summer. He will perform and I watch his every move and then, there's the look to me and my smile and facial expression.

PRIDE

Then there's moments when they are not looking at you and they are in their own little worlds.
This too is also magical, cute, and entertaining.

BORED

Coming up for air and adjusting the goggles. The eyes are melting into me through the fogged up plastic. Just finished his "soldier, chicken, airplane" stroke.

SERIOUS

Then there are times when eye contact has been made. Some type of pent up frustration is being blubbered at me through tongue.

STINKER

Caught in the act of thinking. Motors, wheels, whistles, and gears are grinding away. Studying & analyzing.

PENSIVE

A hot and humid environment of the indoor pool is miserable. Miss-O found the vent to stand on for cool air. I joined her after this picture.

REFRESHING

We are creatures of habit and for the last few days, C-man has enjoyed the corner while waiting his turn.

OBSERVANT

First one here for swim lessons today. Can't wait to get started. He's been swimming all afternoon in G&G's pool. Looking at my son looking across the pool, amused by his swim trunk line, and yet wondering what his thoughts are today.

PATIENT

Game on! Basketball camp last week. Last day and playing 5 on 5. 7 & 8 year old boys playing half-court basketball. Sinking in points.

ENERGETIC

Dribbling drills. Left hand. Right hand. Cross-overs. Around the leg. Around the body.

CONCENTRATING

My kids could be in their worst moments, having their bad day. They could be in their glory or enjoying the SIMPLE things. What's magical about these moments; THEY are our children. They are of our flesh, GOD'S design, and we get to experience these MAGICAL MOMENTS with them. For as long as we all live.
