I like taking pictures. When I remember to take them, that is. I’m really, really good at remembering to bring the camera. But not so good at remembering to use the camera. However, I know that so much of our life is being forgotten. The big moments are captured, sure. But it’s the little things, that things really make up our life, that are being forgotten. The smiles on the little faces that don’t stay little for long. The tears that roll down the cheeks from sad eyes. The mess that never goes away. The boredom of ones who can’t go play outside. The extreme busyness of a large, work-from-home family. The daily school, which gets spread all over the table (and at times, under the table). The sweet moments between family members….. All of it.
So I am making the commitment now, to participate with the “2013 Capture you 365”. I don’t have a good camera, with only the one on my phone to use. But that’s alright. I’m not doing this to get really good at taking pictures, although that would be a great side effect! I’m doing this to record our day to day life. Because life really is so fleeting and our family is changing so quickly.
Some people post a picture each day, but I know that I won’t be able to keep up with that much longer then a few days. So I will be posting the 7 pictures from that week each Saturday. From the site, linked above, there are prompts for each day, which change each month. For example:
April 1: Foolish, April 2: Strut, April 3: Where You Stand
A person can either go in order, or mix it around for wherever strikes their fancy. I will start by doing things in order, I think. It will be much easier not to get lost! 
Even though I’m starting a bit late in the game, it will be worth it.
Besides, this is a good way to show my husband that I truly can do something other than talk and take pictures other then sewing and quilting!
