We had the extended families here today to celebrate the kids’ birthdays. Lots of people, cakes, balloons, presents… the lot.

Did I take any pictures of any of this? Not a single one.

Photos help me build memories. I like going back to old blog posts, and both Ingrid and Adrian like looking at photos. Of themselves as babies, of Christmases and parties and hikes and trips.

The trouble is, the events that I would most like to have photos of are the ones where I am too busy being to even remember to pick up the camera.

I have a bracelet with a little camera pendant to remind me to take photos. It works, in that it reminds me to take photos, but sometimes I feel it so much that it becomes annoying and so I leave it. And then I get no photos. :(
