Little Mack and me: Shenanigans with the new camera
Our little Mack, or Malachi, was dropped into our lives over 6 years ago by a loving and merciful God who knew that we needed a bit of humor and a little shake-up in our lives. It was a bit of an upheaval to have a baby again in our middle-aged years, with our oldest son newly in college, but I can’t imagine our lives now any differently, of course. Our little man is so much fun. I got a new digital camera not long ago, and I tried to coax little Mack into letting me take our picture together. Here is what happened:
“See, look, I’ll hold the camera and you kiss me on the cheek, okay . . .?”
“”Here. . . wait–don’t look at the camera this time–and my cheek is down here–c’mon, we can do this . . . it’s not rocket science–just one kiss, okay? It won’t kill you.”
“There ya go! That’s what I’m talking about! See? That wasn’t so tough, was it??”
“Oh look, this is how you turn the flash back on–whoops!–now what are you doing–?”
“Oh, now don’t make me laugh–shoot–what’s so funny?”
“Let’s try to take one more nice one, now, shall we . . . ? Mack? Okay?”
“One more serious one and then you can go play, okay . . .? That’s not very serious, now–“
“Just one more , honey, and then you can go play–hey, scoot back here with me–“
“There ya go–that’s nice–thanks, honey.”
And with that–have a happy day, you!

What wonderful pictures! I smile like crazy all the way through the post!
Thanks for looking, Caro. Have a great day!
These are great memories, I do believe #5 is the true young man. Thanks for sharing.
William, I think you’re right! Thanks for taking a look!
Sweet! My “little man” is almost 23. I wish we had digital cameras when he was 6- he would have been thrilled. And now, through this blog, you’ll have a (hopefully) permanent record of his childhood.
Yes! There are some advantages to the dizzying speed at which technology changes, eh? Thank you for looking, Alana!
Great pics–truly a boy! Love all the faces… Special moments for you, and some he’ll look at later and wonder.
Thanks for taking a look, Joan!
Great photos! I really enjoyed how you told your story of your son through your pictures. Made me smile. 🙂 Best Regards, Wendy [ Ultimate Blog Challenge)
Thanks so much, Wendy, for stopping by!
What a ham…. Looks like he’s a complete joy! BTW, love the name of your site!
Thank you Carolina! You pretty much pegged my son! He is a ham!
What a cutie. I had my youngest at 39, a shockingly ooops baby since I had to try for a long time to have my girls. He is singing Rick Astley right now in his room, eleven-years-old and loveable and frustrating as ever.
He has high functioning autism, so I have become a Mom barracuda, something I didn’t experience at this level with my girls when I was younger. :~)
Great to read you again!
