Being a photographer, a lot of people will say, “Oh, I bet you have TONS of pictures of your kids!” And the truth is, I have not taken as many pictures of them as I used to. When my son was less than 6 months old, I had over 3,000 pictures of him. Three thousand. Fast forward a few years and with my business growing, I’ve been busier, and I have not taken near as many pictures of my own children as I should be taking. I think I probably have more iPhone snapshots than anything from over the past year! But yesterday, they were cooperative and let me take their pictures. (This hardly ever happens.) Yes, I had to bribe them with candy and gum
…. but I was so pleased.
They gave me my Mother’s Day present…
Melt. My. Heart.
She’s 3 and 1/2 going on about 13. She’s spunky, silly, goofy, sassy and just all around perfect.
And my sweet boy. I’m getting teary eyed right now, because he graduated from preschool today.
He was just a few months old, and then I blinked. Now he’s 5.
He’ll go to kindergarten this fall and will leave me during the days for longer than he ever has before.
I know he’ll be just fine… it’s me that I’m worried about!
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there!
