Simple Joys of Life

I let Nica get hold of my camera for a while. She had a great time taking pictures of the window, the stairs, her mom, cousins, and everybody else at the party. She had a good grip and knows how to focus. I had my camera back, and I was about to take a wacky photo of Wendell, myself, and her when she suddenly reached out for the shutter button and clicked. The resulting photo is blurry (as Wendell tickled me.. LOL), but clear enough to show how I enjoy being with these kids:


After her tiring photography lessons, Nica sat on my right thigh, hugged my left knee, and asked, "Can we do this again on Christmas?" I asked her back, "Why wait until Christmas?" Her face beamed with a smile and right there and then, I leaned back, pointed my camera at her, and captured a photo that would remind her of moments that I, myself, will never forget:
