Last week, I was walking my kids to school and my sweet neighbor Marissa was in the hallway (waiting for me to go on our walk) and captured this moment with her phone:

It was so thoughtful of her, and just seeing this image brings a tear to my eye at a moment captured that I couldn’t very easily re-create. I’ve got 3 kids in elementary school, and when I part with the boys, I give them a high five.Ā This is my second son and I in the middle of that high five, and I just love it! Yes, I look rough, but it’s a real, raw moment, and I will cherish this.
Please share the captured moments with me below! Post a picture on your blog, share with others you are contributing over here, then link up.Ā I’ll feature my faves on Saturday.

I love this picture of normal life for you, Kristen, and no, you don’t look rough
Great shot!
Like the high-five idea. I can see a kid fighting high-fives less than a hug. Ya know, when they’re trying to be cool and all.
You look great, Kristen!
Yes, Marcia, it is normal life! Rach–my girl still wants me to kiss her when we part…i’ll let her lead with the farewells…
