A few days ago my camera quit working. I realized that Tosh bought me that camera for my birthday. That was one week before our wedding, almost 6 years ago. I started to think of all the things that camera has seen. I chose some pictures to share with you all.
Our honeymoon...
Our house turning from this...
Into this...
In between there were so many things like my college graduation, nights of fondue and Rock Band with our friends, random photos of Tosh with different amounts of beard hair, and so much more.
The day we found out we were going to have a baby...
From the day we found out to the day Finn arrived, Tosh took a picture of my stomach.
This was somewhere in the early days when I thought, "Man I am really showing."
It is hilarious to look back on that picture. I was so clueless as to how far out one's stomach can go without exploding.
The final belly shot...
This is us about to go to the hospital around 1 am...
Our sweet boy arrived a few hours later...
Our first photo as a family of three...
This was our first time to take Finn out in the car. We were stir crazy, so we went around the block. We were scared to death! He was so tiny...
I remember taking this photo and being head over heels for this little guy...
Finn's first Christmas morning...
Finn's first mandatory "dress up and get your picture taken for Christmas cards" picture...
countless good times with our family...
Finn's first photo shoot...
First birthday party...
First family vacation...
I cannot imagine how many pictures were taken with that camera. In the early days, I had hundreds and hundreds of photos of our niece and nephew. The camera watched as they grew up. It has seen many road trips. It has seen our house become our home. It watched our family expand. I never in a million years would have thought a camera breaking could bring back a flood of memories. I am glad it has. Tosh and I have had a lot of fun over the years. I look forward to getting a new camera and having years of good memories and photos to look back on.
