Lately digital cameras have been a huge hit in our home.
The other day we were cleaning rooms and Michael took the camera into his room and took a few pictures and then came to show me what it looked like. I made some funny faces and commented on the photos as we talked about them. Then Michael went to make the changes and took more photos until it looked good and was done. It made cleaning fun and put the responsibility into their own hands.

Then the other day my children were fighting over toys and I just so happened to have my camera on me so I said " Oh, lets take a picture of you sharing". My it worked. They willingly shared their new possesions happily. Dan & I looked at eachother and chuckled. We were amazed. It was one of those instances where it was so easy yet did so much. "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass."
This is so fun to have this contact again! I hope all is well! Happy New Year! Darla
