Monday nights at my house are family nights. It’s a time for us to discuss any family plans we have, make goals, have a brief church lesson, sing songs, and play games together. This past Monday night I was so excited about the fantastic new camera I got for Mother’s day, so we went in the backyard with a tripod and attempted some family photos. I really want to hire a professional photographer after the baby is born, but this was just all of us together on a typical Monday night with no thought for wardrobe, hair or make-up. I find myself too often staying behind the camera, and I think I might regret not being in front of it more with the people that I love. I want my kids to know I existed in a place other than their memories. They don’t care how old, fat, or ugly I look. I’m the only one worried about that stuff. I encourage you all to get out from behind the camera and be in front of it. Don’t worry about looking perfect. If you’re like me that time will never come. Enjoy life just as you are right now.
