Catch them with a click

It started a year or two ago. The boy would frown when asked to pose for a picture. Sometimes, he would refuse and run away. At times, he would protest by showing a grouchy look. Timothy grumbles when I flip the camera out of my bag. Lately, the girl is following suit. She’s very candid when it comes to expressing her displeasure at photo taking. I’ve been ‘scolded’ so many times for taking their pictures. Well, like it or not, mummy still love to capture these memories on photos.


In the car. We sit here so often, together, we've had tons of fun. Eating, drinking, snacking... Joking, giggling, fighting, poking each other...getting angry, and then happy again, etc...

'Campfire?!' We need heat! In the hall, the kids sat at one of the ducted heating, too cold outside today.

Run, run, run... no pictures, we're exploring the woods. Mummy caught you!

Do not disturb. I'm reading. And that's my cubby, made with blankets, an umbrella and all my favourite things.

The fresh face look of a child in the morning... Snug behind a cushion, watching cartoon with her 'per-pet'.

Hmmm... See how we spend our leisure time... sometimes...a moment of quietness on a couch at the Credo Cottage.

One of my favourite picture ;) Kids ran and chased the seagulls at the Port Campbell beach.


In the past, I used to send the film for developing (cost a bomb) and I would spend days arranging the photos in albums, complete with captions. Now, I spend almost nothing storing hundreds of these digital photos. And they’ll never fade. I’m sure they’ll realize how precious these memories are when they grow up.
