I am sorry you are maudlin and have had a sad event. But my boys too love stories and I am going to make this the year I make photo books each year. I loved looking though the old photo's of my family after mum died, I wish she was there to tell me more about the events etc. So I am going to do this for the boys. Also she was in the photo's which made me want to be in more, fat belly or not Jen Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374363403295342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-26777832854980509082013-02-04T11:09:00.898-08:002013-02-04T11:09:00.898-08:00I'm useless at taking photos, I just snap the ...I'm useless at taking photos, I just snap the picture with my cheapo digital and carry on walking whilst my other half is still messing around with complicated settings on his expensive camera!Sophiahttp://www.tableschairs.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-34209505627961797022013-02-04T10:27:48.771-08:002013-02-04T10:27:48.771-08:00"half finished projects, disasters in the gar..."half finished projects, disasters in the garden/kitchen, rows about PE kits and at the moment lots of rows about screen time"<br /><br />But that is exactly what my blog features.

I notice that as my kids get older/stroppier I take fewer photos and every so often try to address this by taking loads. My kids will probably remember me forcing them on "family days out" and then shouting at them/bribing them to have their photo taken. The pictures I find fascinating from my childhood are the crap photos....I like to marvel at the swirly 70s carpet and bad hairstyles. feeblefingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696053387019039390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-32891701583510630062013-02-02T12:57:02.808-08:002013-02-02T12:57:02.808-08:00Ah Life - it has such a way of getting in the way ...Ah Life - it has such a way of getting in the way of .....life. Don't forget that your kids will make their own memories and it won't always be the ones you photoed. They'll remember the intangibles - the feelings, the smell, the touch - the things you can't photograph. I hope you feel better soon and please don't despair too much, life is about change and moving forward - otherwise how would we become who we are.<br /><br />Curvywitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352226602384896843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-32329096347839054662013-02-02T03:41:22.932-08:002013-02-02T03:41:22.932-08:00Time is a bit of a bugger really, I feel.

My blogging changed hugely when my kids grew into their middle years, I am only now starting to come to terms with who we are now, and how it all works after years of chasing my own tail. Never did catch it, just gave up the effort of trying. God, it was liberating.<br /><br />Be gentle with yourself.

There's something weird about having a family of this age - I think it's the dawning realization that childhood proper is being left behind at a rate of knots. Did we do it well enough? Make enough memories. Is our bond strong enough to get us through teenage turbulence intact?<br /><br />Your words about my pictures were kind, but possibly undeserved. I just press the shutter button a lot of times and hope it all comes out in the wash. Bit like my parenting philosophy really.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723377593068712400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-55422214006117789172013-02-01T12:04:19.358-08:002013-02-01T12:04:19.358-08:00I am so sorry to hear of your sadness.
