This evening brought a moment of pure joy...utter contentment...I told Shea, "I want to capture this moment in my heart...photograph it somehow for my emotional library...file it under utter bliss."

We were at swim practice. Deliciously chubby K was in her bikini...she's 3 and the baby-fat won't stay much longer. She was playing in the baby pool...jumping in, getting out...jumping in, getting out...never tiring of the repetition. When she'd get out and walk, she'd put her left hand on her hip...always the left hand...always on the hip.

My heart just swelled with the sights, sounds, the breeze...and the company...Shea and the kids...how could I ask for more?
