The post below is part of my Snapshot Series, an e-journal of my children. Like pages in a diary, I'll share the moments of laughter and smiles that keep my world turning. Captured like photographs. So when Jack leaves for college or Ella goes on her first date, I'll have this to remember. Read the series intro here.
In the blog world, Wednesdays aren’t for words. Known virally as “Wordless Wednesdays.” But, I have to share a big moment. The kind that catches your stare. Makes you smile. And gone before you can capture it on film. Saved just in your memory. Giving you butterflies every time you remember.

Ella: 4 months, 5 weeks
Jack: 2 years, 7 months

Sunday was the day
before Justin left for a week of business. I was dressing for the day. Jack and
Ella playing at my feet. Justin’s legs lounged around them. All of us crunched
in my walk-in closet.
Laying on her back, Ella caught grip on a sweater belt
hanging loosely from above. The petite
19-week-old whisked it about. Having recently discovered the fun in shaking
things. Her delight caught Jack’s attention. He snatched the soft thin belt
from her hands. But before we could scold him, he started twirling it over
Ella.
“Wee, wee, wee!” He sang. Small jumps accompanying his play.
Ella laughed. And laughed. Straight from her belly.
It was the very first time my kids played together. And the
first time someone made Ella laugh harder than being tickled.
