Building Memories to Last a lifetime
Okay...that sounds like a cheezy commercial doesn't it! But every family has those moments...you know the ones...the ones that send you leaping over furniture to get the camera!
Today we had one of those moments! I couldn't exactly capture the heart of the moment because the photos blurred everytime Starbuck jumped...but these may give you the jest of the moment. Laura decided to blow some bubbles to entertain herself. Starbuck...our "emotionally needy" dog sees these "aliens" (ie, BUBBLES) attacking HIS GIRL and goes into all out war to protect Laura's honor from the invaders!
No sooner had the bubbles entered his reach than he jumped, danced and twirled until he killed each foe!
So after nearling tripping over the chair to reach my camera and snapping these, I went to save them on my computer. I actually have a folder for KODAK MOMENTS!
I ran across a photo from 2 Christmases ago. In this photo our family was sitting at the table after dinner just talking and sharing stories. We had a candle on the table burning. Josh left the table and returned with a bag of mini marshmallows and some little h'our dourve spears and just began roasting marshmallows over our candle...it started a new family tradition in our house! So we shared family stories and roasted mini marshmallows over a candle...truly a kodak moment!
I hope that we will always be able to capture these "kodak moments"...it just seems like yesterday our children were born...now we have teenagers in the house!
Watching them grow has made me cherish my camera more and more each passing day!
So quit reading my blog and go make some kodak moments of your own!
Those precious children will be grown and gone before you know it!
Love, Dawn

I wrote a very similar post on my blog recently. The link is listed above.

my post was similar to the one with the song "Held" not the Kodak one... sorry! :)
I am totally in agreement with you! One of our favorite pasttimes when we get together with family is to retell the old family stories. My children love to hear about mom and dad as kids. And now that they are older, they are contributing their own kodak moments they remember. I started scrapbooking as a way to let my creative side out and to escape from the daily pain of RA and fibromyalgia. It has turned into a family pasttime with my husband and children helping with the journal entries to perserve the memories.
