Today, my sweet, handsome and smart son turned 9. I was able to convince him to let me take him out for some pictures to capture his personality, I think I succeeded. My kids asked me this morning why i always wanted to take their pictures, and especially on their birthday. I told them, believe it or not, soon you will not want me anywhere near you, birthday or not, so I want to capture what I can, when I can. Luckily, they still can’t fathom that day ever coming, so I made sure to cash in some extra snuggles as bed time tonight.
