Missing

 What is it about being an adult and not wanting our picture taken?  I don't ever remember caring as a child, but for some reason now I'd rather be behind the camera any day than be in the picture.  Are we looking for some elusive perfection before the picture is snapped?  It's funny, because when I go through pictures of family gatherings I always have a ton of pictures of the children.  The cousin pictures are voluminous, but I usually have very few of the adults.  It's a shame really, because one day the only thing my kiddos will have of the older generations will be memories and pictures.  I only have a few pictures with my grandparents, and I treasure them.  I'm positive they didn't want to take those pictures, but now they're priceless.  It really is silly that I'm opposed to pictures so much, because my kids don't care if I thought my hair looked bad that day.  They'll just see the person they love when they look at the picture.  I'm making it a goal that the next time we're with aunts and uncles and grandparents I'm going to do my best to make sure they're in the pictures.  I may even get in a picture or two myself.  Haha.  No one should be missing.  

These are just a couple of pictures doing normal things like studying scriptures and playing a game, but they're the kind of things the kids will want to remember when they're older.
