Apology of a Shutter Bug

I know my constant picture taking is the cause of much exasperation in the lives of my husband and children. They see the camera coming out and instantly the groaning and eye rolling begin. I feel sorry for them, really I do. I love to be behind the camera but on the other end of it, I'm not nearly as comfortable. I would probably hate it if someone followed me around capturing everything I did on film. But as much as I feel for them, I just can't stop! I've always felt the need to document our lives. Not just birthdays, Christmas and big events, but the day to day.
I see something, like Austin sitting in the window playing his Gameboy and I just have to capture it. It may seem like an insignificant moment, but to me it's a moment I don't want to forget.I don't want to forget the times I thought, "Wow, he looks so big! When did this happen?" and "Isn't he cute deep in concentration?". To me, my memories are the most valuable thing I have. I know that someday my memories will begin to fade but because I seized these moments with a click of the shutter, they will never be completely lost. Aaron, Austin, Amanda and Lauren, please forgive me. I just want to remember every moment of the life I share with you!!
