One of the greatest things about technology is the ability to capture anything instantaneously - both the innocuous and momentous. Then, there are those instances where you snap a quick picture and look back on it with a new lens. What seemed innocuous is actually momentous.
When your husband is teaching your 15-year old the fine art of shaving, you (intellectually) recognize that it's a milestone. But when you're running around the house, picking up dirty laundry, trying to make sure dinner doesn't burn, letting the dog outside, answering the ringing phone, etc., you can miss it.
My phone is an appendage. I literally have it with me at all times. Thankfully, I was able to pull my phone out of my back pocket with one hand as I balanced the laundry basket on my hip with the other to snap this pic as I raced down the stairs.
At the time, it was no big deal. But a year later, Bert has taught son #2 the same routine and I missed it. That makes this picture all the more precious.
Must. Stop. Blinking.
Oh I just love this so much.
