I try every year to create family photographs of our own; you know, the ones where I’m in them too. It’s only worked one other time, and that was 8 years ago. I hired someone last year, and this year I was going to hire someone again. Our schedules just didn’t match, so that meant if I wanted them, I had to do it myself. Thank Goodness for tripods and self timers! I’m very happy with the turn out, my oldest was able to help, and captured a great picture of my husband and I. As I sat editing this afternoon, I kept looking at my older two dumbfounded at how fast the last 16 years have flown by. I wouldn’t change anything. Doug and I have three amazing kids, and we are so blessed by all three of them. They are all completely perfect in their own way. That’s not to say there are some pretty low, lows that come with really high highs, but I wouldn’t change anything about any of them.
2020 has truly been a year to remember for so many reason. There’s been so much loss, so much uncertainty, so much ahhh! This year has taught us, to “Take the Pictures” as my dear friend Alissa always says, Live Your Love LOUD, as my friend Kryste says, and enjoy your little people being in your house, all together at the same time. Aiden started working this year and had to work ON Thanksgiving. We were absolutely NOT fans of this new part of our new normal. So on days we are all home the answer to going to a friends house is now my new favorite time to say NO. They may gripe about it sometimes, but I know down the road they will appreciate it. So here’s a glimpse into our day today.
