Kids Were Here

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a blog a group of photographers started, Kids Were Here.  It's made up of beautiful photographs documenting the everyday presence of children.  I just skimmed down the page a bit.  I really liked the one of the cake with the fingerprint streaks through the icing.   I love the idea behind it, the reminder that there won't always be tiny bathing suits hung out to dry at the beach. 

I was inspired that day to take a picture of my own.  I wanted to remember how on some days, when I make lunch for the kids, Ella wants to know exactly what I'm serving so she can fix duplicate plates for her girls out of her stash of play food.

 And someday, the foyer won't be filled with carseats, either.
