Me and Jack








The Paper Mama


  1. I think i could nearly count on one hand how many pictures i've made it into with the kids. it was bad enough when ryan was around--he just took crap pictures. but now that we're divorced (well, nearly), the only pics i make it into are the ones where i smoosh the kids on my lap, shove my arm out, and take it myself.

    I do have a tripod and a camera with a timer...i should give that a try. because you're right: it's important for us moms to be in the pictures, too! (you know...i really think there are maybe 3 pics of me and my mom together. she hates pictures of herself.)

    ps-->forgive the random caps. the broken wrist makes caps a pain in the, well, wrist.

  2. Oh, Amanda...I had no idea! Sorry to hear about the divorce (and the wrist). I just popped over to your blog and read the sock darning story. Too precious. Now, go round up those little ones and snap some photos!!!

  3. Here's what you need to do: Get yourself a 3 year old and give him a camera. Since Ryan has 'discovered' our point and shoot camera, he's been obsessed with taking pictures. So from the past couple months I have loads of pics of Sam and I, thanks to Ry!! Other than that though, you just have to shove the camera into someone's hands and ask them to snap away (and disregard if the quality of their shots are poor- as long as they're capturing the moment.) I use the self timer sometimes too, but I never have much luck with those.
