A New Year (1/52)

I'm usually not one for New Year's Resolutions. But after some thought I decided that I should be. I'm all for setting goals for yourself, and to me, that's not much different than a resolution, right?

Well, one of my goal's for 2010 is to go back to taking more pictures of my own children. I just love taking pictures of other kiddos for my photography business, but let's face it--my kids are the reason I became interested in photography in the first place. Last year seems like such a blur and I wish I had more images of Jacob and Abby to look back on as I cherish the memories we created.

And with that goes more blogging. I really want to document our lives here. I want to write about the things we do each day and post images that go along with that. And I want to give up the need for each picture to be perfect. I want to be okay with snapshots of my kids and free myself of the idea that each picture has to be portrait worthy.

So to motivate me I've decided to do 52 weeks of blogs / pictures. At least one entry a week. That's my promise. And more importantly, my promise to my children. So someday they can look back at all of the recorded memories and smile.

And what a better way to start the new year than a lively game of Hungry, Hungry, Hippos? Don't you just love that game? Jacob and Abby sure did!
