how i found them

Like I said in my post yesterday, most activities we've done this summer have been a direct result of selling our home and needing to leave so someone could tour it. Wednesday night was no exception. It was 7 pm and we had to find something to do with our time so the five of us headed to Barnes and Noble.

Immediately upon arriving I usually check the new fiction, recommendations, and new to paperback sections while Adam starts at the magazine rack, and the girls head to the children section. After about 10 minutes of browsing the front I decided to check on the girls first before browsing the fiction section and this is what I saw...



I first walked straight to the train set, I figured the girls were there, but when I didn't see them I turned around to move toward the other end and found them like this, reading together. The other patrons must have thought I was crazy because I hit the deck. I didn't want to them to see me and disrupt this perfect moment before I captured it. Luckily, I had my camera and was easily able to get them. I peeked around the bookcase for a while watching them, delighted to see my three engaged in a book together.

They never did find me watching them, I met up with them later over by the trains as if I was none the wiser. But what a sweet moment it was for me to see them they way I envision them together. I pray time will not change their closeness.

Well, that would be my favorite thing to see. What a great moment (and photo!).

Wonderful! I rarely can capture these kinds of moments because my camera is across the room and I don't want to disrupt the magic!

What a wonderful capture! I usually happen upon these kinds of scenes without the means to record it. What a sweet remembrance for you and for them.

I love that with your positioning down on the floor and the blurred furniture in the foreground, it totally looks like a sneaky shot! What a great thing to capture. I caught something similar just yesterday, but at our home. :0) Aren't siblings precious (when they're not fighting like cats and dogs, that is)?! :P
