Reflecting on the past week

This has been a fun week for our family. We've had  our church Fall Festival, Halloween activities, a field trip and have a fun weekend planned ahead of us.  It has been a good week for us, but for so many others it hasn't been a good week.  

In moments of fun for our family, I have received news of tragedy in other families. News that has broken my heart. This morning as I am busy working.  Busy trying to get things done so that I can enjoy some family time this weekend, I have so many in my thoughts. 

I'm finishing the edits of a session from a couple weeks ago, and I just got to this series of images. 

These images made me pause. This was at the end of our session.  They weren't posed or thought out at all.  Just a few fun moments between a sweet little girl and her daddy.

They made me stop and think about how blessed I am.  Moments like this are what life is all about.  We get so caught up in everything...work, finances, school..that we forget what is really important.  I know I need to be reminded every once in a while.  I have been time and time again this week.
