These magical moments are the ones that will make you look back on those days with fondness, even if they made you cringe at the time (but I hope most of these made you smile at the time too. I’m not crazy though- kids are messy.. and loud.. and wild!). So many of these pictures are taken with my phone. Don’t limit yourself- the important thing to remember is capturing the moment.
