One more moment

I love Franny's sweet smile. There was many, many days in 2007, where it was only this smile that kept me grounded enough to see me through to the next morning. My life before Franny is such a distant, fuzzy memory that it seems almost unremarkable compared to my life since her birth. I have been gently ribbed by some for the thousands of pictures I've taken of Franny. But every day is new, different, and amazing. To not document every moment possible seems unthinkable, to me. Even now, I can look back just a few months and be astounded at how much she has changed in so many different ways. One of the reasons I love this blog is because I can so easily look back to see both the monumental and random moments that have made her who she is now. Many times, it is the random moments that I linger on the longest and which make me smile, laugh out loud, and cry.

These days, it's a rare occurance that Franny will pose for me. I couldn't decide which picture to post, but after more than 15,000 pictures and 267 blog entries, I figured I'd just post them both. And, a month or a year from now, I am sure that I will be glad I did.

I find that I have to snap, snap, snap because if I don't I won't have a single decent shot of T anymore. Lately he'll stand on one leg "look mom, I'm a flamingo" and let me take a photo or he'll point out things for me to take - like a photo of a Jeep over the weekend and his new swim trunks today. Such a fun age! :)

Besides, I don't think parents can ever take too many photos of their children. Photos of Franny are always adorable.
