On Mother’s Day, I had a small role in the service at our church. Because of that, they requested I send in a photo of our family.
Sue: Would you mind sending a photo of your family so we can show it during the service?
Me: Uhh…the whole family?
Sue: Yes, the whole family.
Me: You mean like, the kids and The Man and me?
Sue: Yes.
Me: So like, a photo with everyone in it? And me too? And The Man? And me?
Sue: *pause* *giggle* Yes. Everyone.
Me: slight panic. Sure. I’ll get right on that.
Because y’all? I have no recent family photos. As you know. So I had to grab a friend who was visiting to take a quick photo of the fam.

There we are. The whole family. And me. So what am I unwrapping? Well, the fact that I have taken a small step toward following my own advice. I got in front of the camera rather than hide behind it. Because even though it was sort of required that I do it this time, next time I’ll do it for fun.
