Last year, my father gave Ben a camera as a present. I just downloaded everything on it…here’s a selection of what he’s been shooting.
- The view from the car seat.
- Daddy is often found cooking in the kitchen.
- Maddie and Emily. And Ben’s arm.
- Robb, Aunt Ris, and Grandpa Traill. What a crew!
- Gradma at Aunt Ris’
- Daddy in the backyard.
- We picked this up one day at the children’s museum in Bloomington-Normal. It’s become a staple of all play.
- Trains and Maddie on her DS.
- This might be good footage for a horror flick. Shades of the clown in Poltergeist. Why did my sister and I watch that alone when our parents were out one night?
- Emily shows up an awful lot on Ben’s camera…
- Ben has graduated from Dora to Curious George.
- The scab is from a sidewalk faceplant over the summer.
- Neat photo against the trees at Carle Park.
- No explanation necessary. A pretty lady. Ben and I agree on this.
- Carle Park, before remodeling.
- Sideways shot of Mommy from this summer.
- Ben pretty much insists on drinking some of the water beside Mommy’s bed every night.
- Ben has really been objecting lately to photos. So, this was an all out war.
- About half of the photos on Ben’s camera are of Mocha. Who he has decided is very “fluffy.”
