The self portrait theme for July's link party (which starts tomorrow!) is the great outdoors.
This summer, for the first time, I feel as if life is going by fast and time is passing quickly. My sweet girl turned 5.
At the end of summer, she'll be going off to kindergarten.
Kindergarten!
More of her 'first' will be experienced without me.
So, when Grace wants to play fairy,
I'll proudly and happily put on a pair of wings and savor this time with her (even with a crazy dog photo bombing the picture).
I am making more of an effort to get in front of the camera and capture these moments with Grace. I still don't like having my picture taken but I've realized, it's not about me.
Even if you decide not to join the self portrait challenge, get in front of that camera and capture some of the moments you are making with those you love.
Hope you see you back tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing your self portraits.
Great pictures, I love seeing the fun times spent during summer. Great to get tons of those pics too, time really does fly. Hugs, marty

Thanks so much Janiene. I am so glad you 'get it' and want to participate as well.
DeleteOh my gosh! You have reminded me that I too donned fairy wings to play with my niece Jessica. We had such fun! You are right time flies and those moments are fleeting. Now Jess comes and sits and pops gum and talks about boys....YIKES!
ReplyDeleteI had to enlarge the photos on my ipad so I could find Riley photo bombing. She looks crazed!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet pictures, Amy! Grace is lucky to have such a fun mom!
