365-54 Memories...

Feb.23,2013

I had LOADS & LOADS of things to do on Sat. morning... while Bjørn took the kiddos skiing..

I was going to be SO PRODUCTIVE! - SO much to do.. before my next BIG:TRIP.
(2 days y'all!)
I was going to get to it as soon as I was finished looking for a photo my baby sis wanted.
ahem.. .
 & that is how my entire day ended up being spent.

As much as I love taking pictures... my parents did not.
Never had a baby book..
& the pictures that mom would snap on the odd occasion would end up in a box in their basement..

I didn't really think I had pictures from my childhood.. well, before I was old enough to start taking them myself.. but I was surprised.. there were a few..

But what makes me sad.. is the lack of photos of my parents..
and even more so ... my parents with us kids.

I LOVE THIS of my MOM...
I don't remember ever seeing this of my mom... with me.. when I was just 2 days..

I know I have that part down pat with my kids...
even if I have to photo bomb my kids pictures..they WILL have photos of our special days together..
so one day.. when they are old like me..
they can sit.. (probably online)
& not only remember how very much they were loved..
but be able to see the love on our faces from days long ago.

We are so lucky now with the opportunity to take so many more pictures and much cheaper than the previous generations were able to. Keep taking the pictures.

I know how you feel! I get very sullen/melancholy when I think of the lack of photos I have from childhood. Whenever I see photos of my parents from my youth, I'm mesmerized. It's amazing to me how that time has flown by and now I'm raising my own children. I make sure to take more photos than my mother did; but I could still do better about taking pictures and printing them.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
