Photog

Tonight I was complaining about the lack of pictures Jess and I have of us together. We have a FEW from when we were dating, and a FEW more since we've been married. Partly because we're such homebodies, so we don't hang out with anybody often enough for them to take any of us. So we asked Paige to try and take one of us. First I set the camera up on a "stand" and told her to push the button. But soon she picked it up and was totally aiming it carefully before she took the picture. They all turned out pretty good actually. Usually even adults you ask to take a picture with a camera they've never used can't get decent pictures. But she did a great job. They're not all flattering, but that has more to do with me not being photogenic than it does with her photography skills. The only thing she asked in return was that we take one of her and Caso together, for every one she took of us. So we alternated, and Caso was more than willing to sit with her this time, and pose.
Something about her using our fairly complicated looking camera was so cute. I wished I had another camera (one with charged batteries anyway) so I could get a picture of her using ours.
Oh, and my kids clearly take after me, as far as their fair complexions. Although Paige can get an awesome tan in like 2 minutes, like her daddy. So, might I ask, WHY when I'm pale, do I look like Doc Holiday,
but my babies look like fair skinned porcelain dolls. Why can't it look like that on me? If I go without makeup people ask if I'm sick. Haha. Don't worry, I'm not fishing for compliments, just stating facts. So Grama, you don't have to go to the trouble of registering so you can comment. Haha.
