One of the beauties of getting older (yes, there are a few) is that I've learned to accept that some of my annoying habits are not going to change, like not getting my film developed in a timely manner (which is why I need a digital camera, but that's a story for another day). Shamefully, despite being the mom of two rapidly growing boys, I have a drawer busting with undeveloped film. I'm telling you this, fair reader, so you know that my blog posts will not necessarilly be a lovely linear progression of photos that mark the passage of my days as they come, one after the other, with the more recent coming after the less recent. Oh no. Not at all. Many will be reflective of times gone by...as I remember and rediscover moments that I finally get to see when the spirit moves me to develop another expectant roll of film. This works for me. My brain has never been linear. I can jump from A to K and back to C with no trouble at all (who needs B!). Some find this disturbing, chaotic even, but it's normal life for me. But that means that my blog moments won't necessarily follow a strict chronology, they'll jump back and forth...moments such as these, for example: HALLOWEEN, 2006
Jack, as dreaded Captain Hook
Wyatt, as dashing Jack Sparrow
These are pictures I developed long after the Halloween chocolates were gobbled down. They're great, though, aren't they? I really love these boys. Love their moments. Love seeing them grow, pretend, learn, change...each new day really is a new day for them, not just another day as it is for so many of us "grown-ups."
I really love the idea of being the kind of mom that zealously chronicals each move, every sound, the stunning moments, as they happen. Alas, the "not linear" part of me finds this idea much easier to effect in thought than in practice. But, practice I shall. And the moments I succeed? Well, I'll share them here. Whooo hooo!
