::Embrace The Camera::

I'm jumping in with two feet.  I'm nervous and uncomfortable but as
Eleanor Roosevelt said,
"Do one thing everyday that scares you."
Every Thursday I'm going to *try* to Embrace The Camera.
***********************************************************************
No time like the present.

Here are the pictures:
The first time meeting my nieces and nephews 
is always emotional for me.
I'm completely overcome holding one of my sisters and sister-in-laws' new baby. 
A new baby to love.  A new child to watch grow up.
This is the latest baby to love on and I met him a few weeks after
he was born.  I'm in love.  He's a sweet, happy baby.
Even though I hate being in pictures, I always want a picture
with my new baby my sister's new baby.


 Gram and me.  My inspiration for quilting.
I have so many memories of watching her make quilts.
I wanted a picture with her and one of the quilts she gave me.


Me and my girls.
At the beach.
I want more pictures of me with them.
That's the point of Emily's Embrace the Camera.
I'll look back and be happy I took more pictures with them.
What do you think? Do you think I can do it?
Will you hold me accountable?
Can you do me a favor? 
Can you comment on these posts?
Pretty please.
I could use the encouragement!
Thanks Peeps!

I've got only a few pictures with my parents or my siblings... and sometimes I wish I wasn't so self-aware when somebody tried to take a picture of me. Now I regret that. I do not want that to happen with my kids. I do want to have as many pictures with them as I can take :)

What sweet pictures! There is nothing like holding a new baby... and that pic with your grandma is adorable!! I so wish I had more pics with my grandma. I started embracing the camera 18 months ago & love looking back and being in more pics with the people I love!
