without the print

I feel a little lost. My camera died days after our big road trip. Yes happy it lasted for that adventure, happy I captured hundreds of photos of my family on our first and BIG no time frame kind of road trip....but non the less I am one of those Mamas caught behind the flash. Some people say the camera hides some sort of reality as though people hide behind it instead of living with the moments. To me I simply cant imagine not capturing all the moments with my family. We have been home for almost a month. A fast month that  was filled with moments of pure exhaustion from my Orien....Pure excitement from Cedar as he cruised through another month of Enki in a LA block! A month of more Mama time for little Truthy caring for, dressing, feeding, hauling her babies EVERYWHERE... and a reflection of the past and what is to lie ahead...
maybe less procrastination, more music in the house when I learn to play the mandolin, more music when Cedar learns the recorder, more patience something I catch myself working on daily, more travel with my loves, knitting and more knitting, more new school moments, Orien riding a 2 wheel bike ( when he turns 5) he says, more time spent outside and less in, more dates with my husband, more days at cross fit, more of this life.
So soon I will catch a shot, find a way to capture all that the Eamonns live....but for now I will enjoy it all one moment at a time
