Project 52 | Week 4

I had a hard time choosing between two photos for this weeks post.  One was a picture of Abby and Oliver walking to the bus stop the other morning during a snowfall.  There were whirls and swirls of the  big, fat snowflakes (that almost seem fake) falling down around them. It really was a picturesque winter photo.  The other one, below, obviously won.  And here’s why- I can look at that photo below and remember the exact sound of Lila’s giggling, and know that the reason she is laughing is because Abby had just asked, “do snowmen fart?”  And I can look at that picture and see my Ollie boy, just trying his hardest to smile for the camera because I asked him to, even though he really just wants to repeat “snowman fart, snowman fart, snowman fart” over and over again (which he did as soon as I was done taking the picture).

There will always be other snowy days when they walk to the bus stop together.  But the days of the three of them being just like this (see photo!~) are fleeting.
