Much as it appears that I have great pictures of the kids, it is actually very difficult for me to bring the kids together for a picture. More often than not, each one is busy with something or just simply wants to be at a distance from each other. So, I love it when I can bring them for a pose. These were last summer. I miss them being young.
Oh, I am hoping I could hold on to this. I am very proud of my children and hopefully I can totally be a good mom to them while intending to be a friend to them. I am not very strict but I am old style in some ways. I like them to be respectful yet assertive, caring but not intrusive and disciplined but not a fly in the wall.
Someday, I will send them off to college although they assure me they will stay around New England area. Needless to say, I would love that but I am also ready to let them fly, grow out of their cocoon. I just wish that everything I taught them will remain or that the values I instill in them will be the guiding light to their own journey.
In perspective... if you notice Josh have no solo shot or shot with his sister or brother, that's because, by then they were all on their way. Didn't I say, it is difficult to take their pictures? I sure hope they will be more cooperative this summer. I have an appointment for a studio session, so we'll see!
