48 weeks of 52--Thankful, & Lesson learned!


I have to say that today, being Thanksgiving day, One of the things I'm thankful for is Carin issuing this challenge.
This month (17th) my second "baby girl" turned 30.
Unbelievable, where have the years gone?
When she was visiting a couple weeks ago I had someone take a quick picture of the two of us together. Today when I went to look for a picture of us together when she was a baby....Well to my dismay there is none.
Yes, I was the typical mom, always behind the camera. I have tons of pictures of her. By herself, with her dad, with her siblings, with her friends, but all in all possibly (maybe!) 1/2 doz with me, her mother in 30 years. Now that is SAD!
So once again, I commend Carin for coming up with the idea of taking a picture every week with us and our kids together.
Don't put it off, don't make excuses, Just hand over your camera to someone or set your self timer. You won't be sorry!


Leon, I and Jeanne with our 2nd baby girl, Jana Beth. 12 hours old.


The first picture I found of the two of us together. Jana's 2nd birthday


Happy Birthday, beloved daughter!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you too! And yep, I'm thankful Carin started this challenge too. Otherwise I wouldn't be in the pictures I am in. (Does that make sence??) I'm thankful also for those like you who have become my blogfriends!

    So beautifully written. If this post doesn't inspire moms to get out from behind the camera I don't know what will. Precious pictures!

    Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    I hear you... loud and clear. This new one of you and Jana is beautiful...

    A little late here, but hope your Thanksgiving was happy... looks like you've spent the time since then ushering another grandbaby into the world. Congratulations to all!
