August 27

When we take our walks, it's not unusual for the kiddos to use this particular intersection as a photo stop. It's also not unusual for them to try to photobomb one another's pictures, so of course, that's what they did today.

For whatever reason, Brady was in full ninja mode, and did all he could to create the funniest photobombs he could imagine. Virtually all of them are on Adam's phone, but I snapped this one from a distance because I found the whole exchange to be both amusing and, oddly enough, meaningful. I think, when it comes down to it, that one of our biggest common challenges involves being ready for life's photobombs --for those unexpected things that invariably show up and alter our perceived pictures of perfection-- because this life we're living isn't perfect. If we can find the beauty, the humor, or the meaning in those images that differ from what we expected, they can add unexpected sweetness to life.
