looking back

 
every once and awhile i catch a glimpse of one of my kids and think "i have seen that look, smile, etc. before but it wasn't you"  all of our children have similar features but none of them look identical.  i see more similarities between elli and mav than i do between jed and mav.  i also experience those moments where i feel like i have lived that moment before and here it is again.  i try to snap a picture at those moments because, well, they are precious! 
the first pic was taken after the first night we brought elliana home from the hospital.  what a nerve racking night!  your first kid, you worry they are going to stop breathing... that is when they are actually sleeping!  i remember we didn't really go to sleep until 7 a.m. and we got up at 10 a.m.!  clearly it made an impression on me because i still remember it!  i thought it was so precious jon and his baby girl snuggled up after a loooong night!  the other pic is of mav and jon.. this was just a sunday afternoon rest!  but it just happened to be one of those moments that i stopped to think "where has time gone?!?!"
