A Perfect Moment

There was a huge thunderstorm tonight that woke up the baby. So I ran upstairs to check on him and ended up rocking him. Nicholas came up the stairs with a huge bag of chips and a blanket. He camped out on the floor. Then our dog, Alli, came in and picked out a spot next to Nicholas. All of a sudden there was a huge boom and Nicholas jumped into my lap next to the baby and Alli crawled underneath my legs inbetween the footstool and rocker. The four of us sat there like that until the storm quieted down. I wish I could have frozen us in that moment, it was over all too quickly.
