I'm the optimist, I say spring is right around the corner, it is, I'm ready to open my windows and wear flip flops again, even though I'm loving my new vintage converse, they are so comfy, I may not switch to flops in the spring..NOT!
I cant believe February is already here, it seems like last week was Thanksgiving and we were putting up decorations...it seems time is moving so quickly, I think its because I see my kids growing faster that Houston grass....they are becoming adults right before my eyes and I don't like it, not one bit. I am feeling the urgency to photograph them more and more, much to there great disgust, my kids hate nothing more when I exclaim, we are taking pictures but I feel like I'm running out of time and their childhood is slipping away...in between the SATS, college visits, driving kids to the movies, first dates and first boyfriends, girls calling my boys, somewhere they grew up and somehow Ive gone from being mommie I need help, to hey mom can you take me...or hey mom I need some money. When did I become mom and not mommie?
So don't wait for the big events to take snap shots of your kids, don't wait for the birthdays, the baseball game, the dance recital....take time to photograph the little things....making cookies, playing in the dirt, tieing there shoes, playing with their toys...even when there hair is messy and their clothes don't match, those are the little things, the tiny moments, the moments that will pass you by...document it because one day you will turn around and you will be Mom and you will wonder how did I get here, when did they grown up, where did the toys go and you will miss the Cheetos kisses and dirty hand prints on the wall...capture the little moments...
