This Sums it Up

I feel this picture captures our kids' personalities so well. You'll notice Jonah can't sit still and is jumping in the background. Meanwhile Ellie is in the foreground cuddling her lamby, whom has shared the bed with her since he arrived—four years ago.

I love that I can also see how distinct each of the kids are in this picture. And yet, I notice that they also seem content with each other. Ellie accepts Jonah bouncing on the bed (which I'm certain is causing her to bounce around). Meanwhile, Jonah has kindly given her just enough space so she can sit without him landing on top of her.

I'll try to remember this moment the next time I find them squabbling.
