PROJECT 52

I saw this project on a photographers blog and decided I had to do it. I've been posting it on a couple family blogs but decided to post it here instead. As a photographer I am rarely in any pictures, I actually defend myself by saying "if you zoom in real close, you can see me and my camera in their eyes, so yeah I am in the photograph." But knowing kids, and how great their memories are if a photograph is taken, I was saddened to think they may not remember much of me if I'm not there documented. So I've had to do two extremely horrific things, number one - hand over my camera - (it causes me great anxiety) and number two - I have to be on the other side of the camera, I'm not like my kids who naturally pop the photogenic "I'm an overphotographed child" smile.

The interesting part I discovered going into week four is that I am not wanting to photograph the huge events as I normally would, but the little moments I'll want back when they're gone, i.e. making cookies, eating popsicles on the porch, playing in a stream, dancing in the piano room etc. So if you want to join in on the bandwagon here are the rules:
1. You have to be in the photograph with at least one of your children, hubby, etc.
2. Take a picture at least once a week for a year.
3. Have fun! :)
I've given myself a Sunday Evening Deadline. Leave me some comments, I'd love to hear what you're doing!

There is nothing more beautiful than a manicure done by a six-year-old. They're always begging for a beauty salon and I need to take more time to appreciate their kind acts of service.

I know I am not really in the photograph, but this is a sport we love as a family. I hope when my girls see this picture they remember my cracked and calloused hands from tying all the skates.

We weren't going to purchase Aggie Tickets this year because of the expense but after three years of going, Roy couldn't pass up the fun family outting. The first game landed on Halloween.
