The vast majority of the pictures I take feature some combination of my kids on their own or with their daddy; I don’t have many of me with them because I am almost always the one behind the camera! But recently I read this inspiring blogger’s comments about wishing she had more pictures from her childhood that included her parents. So I am hoping to keep up with her weekly “Embrace the Camera” challenge. This is my first effort: grainy because I wanted a picture of E with me on my birthday but didn’t remember it until after dinner last night, when of course there was no more good light to be found! But it does document a special little moment in time: I am 31, the same age my mom was when I was born. (And I used to think that was so very old–sorry, Mom!) E is wearing her ruffled jeans with heart-shaped rear pockets, which I could eat. Oh, and I am still wearing my running clothes! It’s a little slice of our life, standing in the butler’s pantry between the kitchen and the dining room, snatching a moment between dishes and bathtime to take a picture together.

I love those in-the-moment pics as much as posed ones. That’s what most of my pics are. She’s precious!
