mommy and baby, 2006

every once in a while mommy (or daddy) needs to hand the camera to someone else. i was reminded of this recently after i sorted through holiday photos and i (cameraholic) was not in a single photo, anywhere. then i came across this lovely photo of me with my youngest (a few years back) and remembered that my husband took this photo. the babies and i were piled in my bed and we were lounging. i remember getting up to grab the camera to take a few photos of the boys when my husband came in and took the camera from me.  my husband captured this moment perfectly.

do you hand the camera over enough to allow yourself to be part of the moment in time?

ps. this photograph shows my poor babe with his chapped, red face from food allergies. we have come a long way since then.
