Visiting Old Friends

We spent some time with some old friends in our college town this weekend. One is "dabbling" in photography, although he has invested quite a lot in some fabulous equiment. I got to be a model for a while, because he had a really specific photo in mind. Being a perfectionist, he spent almost an hour on this one shot, moving the backdrop and the huge overhead light. It was very cool. He also took some shots of our family, and Wendy B. and I took some of our own NOT professional pictures of the kiddos at the same time.

D is enjoying his new-found talent for kissing! It's mostly just an open-mouthed smash, but it's so dear. One night he gave his daddy a huge squeeze and a kiss before bed. It's enough to melt a heart.

A note about stay-at-home moms: does anybody else get a little bit sad when thinking about your previous profession? I am mostly really happy with my current career as A Mom, but when talking with some French teachers this weekend, I sure did feel really out of touch with that whole part of my life. I'm worried that if I ever decided to go back into it, I'd be so woefully out of it. I'm also a little bit worried about the lack of drive on my part to even WANT to get back into it...
