Embrace the Camera

So my friend ordered me encouraged me to try out this link-up she ran across.  It's called Embrace the Camera.  The short of it is that moms take tons of pictures of everyone else but are rarely in front of the camera.  Another blogger mom noticed that she didn't have a lot of pictures of her with her mom and didn't want that to be the case with her and her children.  So she started a link-up to encourage other moms to take a picture of themselves involved in their kids lives once a week.  And then you link up.

It's a great idea in theory.  Who doesn't want their kids to have pictures of them to remember the good times by?  Of course that involves taking pictures of yourself that others can see.  I've packed on some extra pounds lately, so that doesn't thrill me.  LOL  So this project will serve 2 purposes for me: To include myself in our family memories and to get on the elliptical machine when I don't feel like it.   Bonus!

Since I happen to have some recent pictures of me and my kidlets, I figured I might as well start today.  So here are a few shots from our recent trip to NYC.  I want to live near Central Park now.  I need more money.  =o)
