LOVE that thumbnail. What a great picture! The facial expressions and that casual way you're holding the hammer. You guys are awesome. If I saw it on a postcard I'd totally buy it to add to the art display on my wall. (don't mean that in a creepy way :D )

A touching video and a fantastic reminder to be present and mindful every day. Actually I have to admit that I was crying right along with you (doesn't take much to start me off, but still...). So happy you shared this and you're totally right.

I don't have a parenting example to draw on, but it reminded me of the time in my early twenties just after I'd met my first boyfriend. He was working at a youth hostel out in the wilds of Wales. It was a 2 hour drive from my parent's house in Birmingham. That's quite a long distance in UK, but still I'd drive out every week to see him. At the time, it was kind of a chore, I wasn't used to driving long distances and it seemed like a lot of time to spend travelling every week. Then later on, when he moved back to Birmingham and we saw each other all the time, I realised I missed that weekly drive. The time I'd spend there in the car, listening to music and feeling happy because I'd see him soon. That longing and anticipation. It was a Moment, and I didn't realise until it was gone.

I'm sure there have been others and that there'll be more, and all we can do is try our damnedest to pay attention and enjoy the seconds as they tick by. What wonderful life this is. We're so lucky.
