Oh Sweet Friendship




Buby + galpal Gilly walking back from the park.
As images of these two friends downloaded from my Canon this morning I admit I felt a smidgen guilty for running ahead of them to get the shot. The handholding was soooo cute and unchoreographed. So in my defense, how cute I not capture it? {It's mini moments like that make me gush at how fast our kids are growing up.} But it also made me THAT mom. You know... the one who pops out of nowhere with a camera just when you think you're not so uncool after all. In front of your friends. In front of your girl. I see Buby's expression and it reminds me of my mom taking photos on my brother's first date with a girl named Jenny B. They were eating at a restaurant. Okay, he was closer to 12 and Buby is only 2.5. But I can already see that my mere presence cuts into his overall dudeness at times. Ahh, this is just the beginning.

I love the look on his face in the second photo. You're totally cramping his style, but I think it's great! And BP is all smiles in her pretty little dress. These are the moments that you should capture.

I know EXACTLY what you mean by these "mini" moments. Those moments when you realize they are older than you realize them being:-(

Love the look on his face! "Geez, Mom!"

Hugs & Kisses,

So it's cute for Mom's to see their boys holding hands with little girls? It's a 180 for Daddy and his daughter where little boys are concerned...
