Kelly time with Noah

I am always grateful for the moments when my kids get along.  Notice I say "moments".  They don't happen as often as I would like, or for as long, but when they do..... it's really just priceless. 
I think it's safe to say that Kelly is one of the many Moms we have at our house.  She is really good at taking kids under her wing, she loves babies, knows how to hold them, she is sweet with her littlest sibs, and really just knows how to take care of people.  She is the one I ask when I need someone to distract Noah or Erika, or if they need something to do, and generally she will comply.  It's very nice.  Something I don't think I would be able to do without.... very easiliy... I hope she never feels like she doesn't want to do it, though if she did, I would want her to be herself.  She is a sweetie, and I am glad I can trust her to help out with them :)  That being said, the other day, she took Noah under her wing and helped to entertain him while I was getting somethings done.  I had no idea what they were doing, but after a while they came in and wanted me to come see what they had been doing.  The reason I took the picture and am making such a big deal about it, is because I almost said, "not right now".  I almost told them I was too busy.  I almost missed out!!  Thankfully I felt prompted to just stop what I was doing and enjoy their little fun for a second.  As we walked over toward the swingset, for some reason I htought they were going to show me a trick on the bars or something Kelly had taught Noah there, which would just be a miracle!  But no, they stopped just before the swingset and there it was Kelly and Noah heaven :)  It made me smile to see that Kelly had chosen an activity that was right down Noah's alley.  Something that Noah has never really done though, so it's something new that I'm sure he will continue.  They had made a little home for his plastic lizard.  Everything had a name or a function, and they both knew them all.  You could see from his wet hands that Noah had been using it and enjoying it to it's fullest, and therefore his lizard too.  It was just such a sweet little moment.  I felt like I was in Noah and Kelly's world for a second.  So creative, so fun, so pretend.  I loved it.  I wish I'd gotten a picture of Kelly and Noah using it, or Noah's lizard enjoying it, but anyway- here it is.  I love my family.  I love these moments.
