The final days prior to leaving are being thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my mom and niece. I am extremely grateful for their willingness to take on the task of capturing some author photos with the boys for the book. As one might imagine, no matter how much you plan, there is always something unexpected - such as being careful not to fall into the water or making sure the boys don’t get dirty or ... rain. Needless to say, while there were frustrating moments, there were far more laugh-out loud memorable moments of chasing dogs, getting the boys’ attention and trying for just the right angle (all of us are amateur photos). Here is a photo of Oscar and me - one of which I haven’t had until now. Have a look in IG Stories at a few of the outtakes. #tsllmyoscar #tsllbend #tsllstyle (at Bend, Oregon)
