Preserving History

For Mother's Day I requested a do-it-yourself family picture shoot.  We have not taken many family portraits, and it seemed a good time to preserve our history.  We took our camera and an old tripod and made our way to the nearby park.

Ezra is a toddler--and a busy one at that--and was much more interested in going down the slide then sitting still for pictures.  But, my goal was to preserve our history, and a stage of life, and the reality is--he is constantly on the go, and happiest at play.  So, for what they are worth, we caught pictures of an active Ezra in true form.

We did get a few couple pictures, and managed ONE family picture.  Considering that our picture-taking involved setting up a camera, initiating a timer, running into place, wrangling a toddler to (at least) look at the camera, and perhaps even smile, ONE good family picture is quite a triumph.
