Unfortunately, I haven't got a gazillion photos of our Thanksgiving to dump here on my blog because in between stuffing myself full of Thanksgiving food, having a baby on my hip that prefers Momma & Momma only, chasing a little one away from the dessert table who's already helped himself to two cookies the size of his head, & hopping in & out of the car from one family gathering to the next, the thought of trying to capture every single moment with my camera just wasn't realistic. It's frustrating to go back & not have many photos to upload but it's where I'm at right now--still finding my groove with two young kiddos. It's just a season & sometimes I can figure out the balance, while other times photo snapping, blogging, even taking a shower all get put on the back burner. I'm rollin' with it.
So I'll leave ya with I've got. A few snippits of our Thanksgiving holiday.
Blanket swinging. Coach & Gigi started this game a long, long time ago & it has become a favorite to my little guy.
Everyone takes a shift holding the blanket--because the adults wear out way before the little one does.
Who me? Bantering the little brother while he's concentrating on that shot? Never!
She loves her outdoor walks with Papa--until she realizes she can't see Momma. Then she panics & the nature walk comes to an end. Oh she's mess, this girl.
I may not have a gazillion photos from the day--but I sure do have a whole lotta thankful from it.
Hope you too, had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday.
love this and i couldn't agree more! it's so hard to get pictures with two, especially with our girls age right now. it makes me sad too. but thanks for the reminder that it's just a season. it seems like forever, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like forever, Gwen! It constantly feels like I am torn between capturing the moments or being "present" for the moments. Either way, something gets sacrificed, it seems. While I would like to be Supermom & do it all, I have to remind myself that it's simply impossible. I'm trying to be content in this season--because as we learned with our little boys--it will pass us in a blink.
