In the Picture

I'm not camera shy, but I've come to realize there aren't that many pictures of me because I'm usually the one behind the camera snapping shots of my cute family.  If I do make it into the picture I'm usually not happy to see it.   Lets be honest, I'm not getting any younger.  I have gray hairs springing up all over the place and wrinkles that used to only show when I smiled, have now become permanent features on my face.  Rather than spending hours with Photoshop I decided I just need to accept the reality that I'm aging and get over it.  I came across this article that went viral and realized I'm not the only mother with this problem.  So I'm trying to get in the picture more.  I want my kids to have visible proof that I was involved in every detail of their lives, especially before they grow too cool to be seen with me.
