How often is enough?

As I tried to work up the motivation to take my weekly pic with my boys I was reminded of why I do it.

This is a picture from my 365 project.

In my mind it JUST happened.

Then I look at it and realize my youngest does not have that adorable little baby face and my oldest is quickly growing into a boy.

I do not have toddlers anymore.

When did that happen?

This was TWO YEARS AGO!

How did time go so fast?

I will look back when only a moment seems to have passed and not see this little man anymore.

He will be bigger and more confident.

Maybe he will not want to sit in mommy’s lap.

Maybe a little bug on a flower will not cause this look of wonder.

My six year old is quickly growing.

Changing everyday it seems.

One moment little boy and another a little man.

So for now I will take my pictures with my boys every week if I can.

I will hold them until they are too big to be held.

And I will have the pictures of not just what they were like at this age but how we were.

How I loved.

And was loved by two little boys.

Day 2

He loves to take pictures.

He is so unafraid to try something crazy and fail when it comes to pictures.

I will see him do something like swing the camera around while taking a shot, he will look at what he took, smile, and delete it.

He was almost as happy as I was about finding the willow tree to take pictures in.

Day 3

“I like to bake because it is like a science experiment.”

I set up a tripod in my kitchen before baking just so I could have more pictures of my boys and I.

I like to let my little men use my camera(sometimes).

This time I had to keep reminding them if they dropped it it would break.

Thankfully it was my backup camera but it still is a costly mistake.

They were giggling a lot over taking pictures of feet…

I usually put the settings where they need to be then hand it over.

This is me tickling for putting feet up in every shot.

I decided to leave these unedited. Uncorrected.

I did a slight sharpen(I do not sharpen too correct, a sharper blurry picture never looks good) for the web, resized, and added my logo.

I love them for all of there crooked imperfection.
