I hope to continue getting pics of me for my kids.....and trying to remember to get in there with my kids on photo opportunities.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder....<BR/><BR/>And I love the pics of you and Joey!<BR/><BR/>Roxannthe real ~Roxann~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08182786221545229324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30876563.post-85588520933248695452007-06-21T09:54:00.000-06:002007-06-21T09:54:00.000-06:00Jen, I recently started reading your blog and have...Jen, I recently started reading your blog and have been very touched by your story. I am guilty of not being in front of the camera too. I will make a better effort to get in the pics with my girls. It really is a great challenge!

But this year so far we have purchased digital cameras for our 9-year-old and 22-year-old sons and our 13-year-old daughter. Especially after reading your post today, I am feeling it was money well spent. Not only are they having a ball learning to take photographs, but I am finding that now my husband and I are showing up in more photos. We just returned from a family vacation at the beach. My camera had 362 pictures on it--about 6 had me in them. Then I looked at the kids' pictures and saw that they had gotten me in quite a few more! Proof that I was on the vacation, proof that the kids and I have fun together, and sometimes proof that when we look at each other, our love for each other is written all over our faces. Thanks for the reminder, Jen!Jan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11503570740770226069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30876563.post-37893777202974980612007-06-16T20:44:00.000-06:002007-06-16T20:44:00.000-06:00love those pics Jen! great words of advice... i ma...love those pics Jen! great words of advice... i made sure to take pics of me with my kids today.<BR/><BR/>Wish we were near you so we could get Jimmy and Kayleb together.... aawww- such cute boys.
