There are moments when I look at my three children and I just smile.
Those moments where I catch them unawares.
When they are sitting quietly, snuggled together, happy in the moment.
The wee girl, as always, resolutely copying her big brothers.
No shouting, no screeching, no jumping, no bouncing. No fighting. Just companionable silence.
It doesn’t happen all that often, and it doesn’t last for long! But it is wonderful to see.
They may fight, as siblings do, but they are also fiercely protective of each other and the sound of them giggling is one of the best sounds, ever.
My three, firm friends, together. That’s what my magical moments are made of.
I am linking up with Mummy Daddy Me for the first time this week for Ordinary Moments. I absolutely love the idea of this linky, capturing those ordinary, extraordinary moments. It’s one of the main reasons I started this blog, and why I continue to love writing; recording all the big and small things that my children, and we as a family, do.

Great photo, the ordinary moments are priceless aren’t they?
Thank you – they really are x
Awww makes you smile. This is a lovely photo of your three.
Thank you, it’s now one of my favourites x
There is something so special, even magical, of those quiet moments when you can watch your kids unawares.
There really is, I walked in to find them like this, it was lovely :)
Ah this is lovely. I’ve got two and they have just started to develop that sibling bond, it is the nicest thing to see x
It is, isn’t it? When they play nicely and make each other giggle, it’s just fab!
Lovely photo!! So special when they are all sitting nice together x
Thank you – wish it happened more often :)
What a lovely trio, and I get the impression that the might be a force to be reckoned with – you definitely wouldn’t want to mess with them!
Oh, yes – they are! Completely impossible when they want to be :)
Oh that is just lovely! That, rather than the hokey-cokey, is what it’s all about.
Thank you x
beautiful! ah love their little faces all supping their juices x
Thank you! It was a classic moment :)
My 3 boys get on well like that. Sometimes I have to remind them I’m around too!!
Ha, that’s lovely :) I love watching my lot play together.
I love this. Magical ordinary moments are what makes every single life story so amazingly special.
Thank you – they really do x
What a lovely sofa moment. I have two brothers and this reminds me of the rare occasions that the three of us would sit together quietly too :)
Yes, sadly it is quite rare, but so wonderful to see when it does happen :)
I love those moments too when all is right in the world! #magicmoments
Thanks, that’s exactly what it’s like x
What a lovely photo. As a parent with two boys then a girl like you, I can totally relate to what you are saying. They do argue and fight a lot, but they are all so special and those moments when they are just enjoying each other’s company are priceless.
Thanks Sarah, it’s so lovely to watch – even though they get grumpy and fight, they adore each other. Very special x
What a beautiful moment you managed to capture, i love it! thanks for linking up with #MagicMoments
Thanks Jaime, and thanks for hosting x
Agree, ordinary, extraordinary, magical moments.

Calm moments, when all three are quietly sitting together is definitely a magical moment! :) Stopping over from #MagicMoments
It definitely is :) Would be lovely it happened more often!
Lovely, moments of calm and peace must be so rare with three!
They really are :) It is rarely quiet!
What a beautiful photo and even more beautiful words. I completely agree with you, that’s why I started blogging too. To capture those little moments I might otherwise forget. I bet amidst the chaos, it is wonderful to capture those quiet, peaceful times! x
Thank you x It certainly can be chaotic – makes it even more worthwhile to take note of lovely moments like these :)
Beautiful photo – I can see why you’re so proud, #magicmoments
Thanks Cathie x

I wish mine would do this more often. I love our photo, they all looks so content.
Thank you! Doesn’t happen often :)
Lovely. You have to document these moments so you can remind yourself of them when they’re all arguing ;) x
Ha, exactly :)
Lovely, the best moments in life are made of love :-). linking in from Magic Moments.

That’s a really lovely photo, I love how they’re all copying each other without really realising it! Beautiful :) x
