Aren't they lovely?

Why do we like pictures of scenes like these? Because they are lovely. The kids are so cute. Playing so well together. Eating such well balanced meals. Listening with such attentiveness and appreciation for all we do as their mothers. We also like them because there is no audio. But I was just wondering what it would be like if we took pictures of the kids arguing over toys. Whining about a denied request. Refusing to eat their food. Or say, cutting their sibling's hair in the dark when they are supposed to be sleeping. Wouldn't it be weird if our scrapbooks or blogs were full of those pictures? Maybe I am just weird. I was just wondering. I'm not going to change my photo taking. There are plenty of daily displays of original sin, no need to document them in photo. We'll keeping taking pictures of the victories - when the ugly effects of the fall are pushed back by sharing generously, eating well, and listening attentively.
Thanks, Veerman. It was lovely.
