Parents, if you want wonderful pictures of your children, never teach them to say "cheese"! Please learn from my mistake or you will have thousands of photos just like mine - squinted eyes, scrunched up noses, clenched teeth, and an image that just screams "say cheez!!!". Join me while I search for that one perfect shot that doesn't conjure up images of dairy products. Oh, and unless you like that *messy* look, you'll probably want to clean their faces before you snap away. I never seem to remember myself.

An imporant sidenote is to make sure you document your life! Recording the little details of the who, what, where, when, & why makes for wonderful stories and captures your life for years to come. Because if you are like me, you'll forget it all 5 minutes later!

*closing my eyes and making a wish*

Photobucket

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear...an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring...all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Lori,

That 'closing my esys.." is so sweet. Ithink I will steal it and send it to some friends. Our prayers are with you all. Great picture with the count-down clock. Love

Lori,
Could I have permission to 'borrow' the photo 'Closing my eyes...'? How does that work?
Love
Uncle Bruce
