That perfect moment...

I was driving in the car today with my kids in the back, windows down a bit to let the gorgeous 70 degree weather to come in, and the radio station playing quietly (to a song I like - not some kiddie music). I happen to look in my rear view mirror to check out my kids - who were being oddly quiet. The reflection back was one that put me in my perfect "mom"ent... the two of them looking at each other and smiling. No words exchanged, but smiles that lasted for minutes. Just happy to be there, with each other, with me. Perfect. Usually a moment like that ends in Gavin pushing Evie down or taking a toy away - but not this moment. This one goes in the mom memory file.
