A Tender Moment

Max has started giving these full-body hugs, completely spontaneously, often mid-activity. It is one of the many things about him that make him irresistible. Today, I was taking pictures of him when he walked up to me and commenced hugging. I thought it would be cute to take a Mama's-eye picture of the hug while it was happening. I had dreams, in fact, of it being the kind of picture that I would keep forever, and that would bring nostalgic tears to my eyes in later years when Max is grown-up. Imagine my disillusioned surprise, therefore, when I put the freshly taken photo on the computer for viewing and beheld this! Nice face, Max. It's practically a Hallmark card.

I've always been much more adorable in motion as well.

Hopefully, you're not secretly making that face when your loved ones hug you.

Oh how I can relate to this. Mason and I have had similar momments where the feelings an appearence don't seem to align when captured on film.
