Snapshots

I taught Kate how to use our little point and shoot camera. It's opened up a whole new world for her. Daily I hear "Mom, can I take pictures?" It keeps the girls occupied for a long time. I'm a bit scared for the fate of the little camera (especially in Gwen's hands), but it's lived a long life. Here are a few of the snapshots the girls have taken.

Kate loves to have Gwen sit and pose for her. They change up the doll in the picture and Gwen practices her best smile. Below, Gwen was sleeping in late on a rainy Saturday morning. Kate was impatient for a playmate and woke her up with pictures. Gwen (unlike most of us) was happy to awake to a camera in her face.

Around the house. I think Gwen took more of these photos. Kate's head didn't quite make it into the shot.



And life around here. Mama changing the sheets and consoling an injured Gwen. I think that's my favorite picture of them all. One of the best parts of motherhood is being able to wipe those tears away and make it all better. How long will that last?




Thanks for the pictures, Kate!

These are so cute and funny! The one with My Little Ponies on the bed is especially artistic! And it's good to have another photographer in the house, so that you can actually have some pictures that you are in--that one of you and Gwen is priceless!

ps. Gwen is looking so much like Kate to me. They are both such adorable girls!

haha! I love these Jill! And like Becca, the My Little Ponies all set up on the bed was the one that most stood out to me. It was so funny somehow.

What a lovely mama you are Jill.
