I had to snap a few of sweet little Jesse when I took the kids for a playdate just the other day.  I can’t believe how big he is getting. He will be celebrating his 1st birthday in just a few months. Jesse is the son of my sweet friend Wendy and has been on my blog a few times before.

I was so happy that Wendy agreed to let me take a few of her with her little man. It just isn’t often enough that we get to be in photos with our children. I know that when I flip through photo albums of my childhood, I am always so happy to see a photo of my mom with me.  But they are rare.  My mom has never liked the camera and always took every opportunity to avoid it.  Be sure and document your history.  You are there everyday for your beautiful children.  Let them see you there in pictures.  Even if you have to set up the camera on a table and use the timer – do it.  That’s what I do! Just catch yourself being in the moment with your kids. I promise you, years down the road you will be so glad you did… and so will your children.
