I got a Nikon Camera. Love to take a photograph.

(Title complements of Paul Simon) Mom's camera has come to my house to stay. I think Mom had this camera for about 19-20 years. I remember her taking photography classes.

I remember when Zach was a baby, Mom would put him on her knees and take pictures of his nose. When Zach was 2 or 3, when he saw a camera, he would give a "Camera" smile, not a normal smile. This was a huge smile, complete with all of the teeth in his mouth at the time. Wendy and I both have learned the "Camera" smile, but without Mom, our lives would be less documented.

Mom is well known for taking her own picture. I think I will be happy on the other side of the lens for a while. Having Mom's camera puts her with me while my life moves on. Together, we saw where Zach will go to school and play baseball over the past couple of days.

On a side note, Zach and I are in another blog (Thanks Becky) : http://deansblog.wordpress.com/ . This is where Zach will go to school in the fall. (Here is when he signed his Letter of Intent in the Fall. http://www.ovu.edu/base.cfm?page_id=4104 - That is another post).
