First, I'm sure I've dated my self with my blog title. For your kiddos -- Google.
Second, onto the posting!
It's hard to take pictures. I want pictures of everything...the firsts, the discoveries, the cute faces, but my choice seems to be to either take the picture or to take part in the action.
Case and point: we just got back from a super fun family vacation. We rented a house in Galena with Tom's sister Moira and her family. We had a very fun time, complete with swimming, renting a boat, hiking, riding on an awesome HUGE slide (which all of the kids wanted to ride on with me since I LOVE those types of things and went super fast...probably not the best example), grilling out, lemon meringue pie :), a trip to Tom's dad's alma mater (Tom's folks came for 1 night), an insane trip up the Fourth Street Elevator (clunking all along the way...), and lots of games of Uno.
But...we have no pictures. OK, we have like 4 pictures. Including this one of John lounging in his new robe (at home...after vacation...but we bought the robe in Galena!!)
There was a great moment with Annie and John running around in their matching robes (yes, she got one, too)...but of course I have no picture of that...
I struggle with the photo thing, because it seems to interfere with the activity If it is a sight-seeing kind of trip, no sweat. But things like you describe, no, I avoid the camera. How much time are we going to spend looking at the pics, anyway?
