Mama And Her Boys

This might be most interesting just to me, Brian and the grandparents.  But I still thought I'd share. :)

This is a very sweet video my talented photographer friend Khimberly Caton of Snaptastic Shots put together for me and the boys around mother's day earlier this past year. I was still pregnant with Avonlea at the time.

I'm a HUGE fan of capturing life through photographs.  But it's really neat to see how much more of life can be captured through video.  Being a journalist at heart, this makes me wish to have a simple video like this every year capturing my boys' growing personalities and the love I feel towards my kids.

Sometimes in those quiet moments, after the children have fallen asleep and my day is coming to an end, I can find myself wondering if I'm a good mom or if I had been as present as I could have been for them that day.  But I was reminded of when I watched this video was that being a "good mom" isn't about being a perfect mom, it's about just being mom.

Snuggles, kisses and laughter are the currency of children.
