The Odd Couple

I have never big a particularly prolific photographer, but I am trying to get better about it for Mia's benefit. For inspiration, I have been reading a couple of books about scrapbooking. One author reminds us that we tend to capture the birthday parties and big events, but we forget to photograph the little, everyday moments. She has a point. Back in the olden days when I was a child and all cameras used film, I remember the time my Mom sent a roll of film to the drugstore for developing, only to discover that nearly every picture on the roll captured one of her 4 children blowing out the candles on their birthday cake. You'd think nothing else ever happened at our house.
Which brings us to today's photo, one of those little everyday moments. When I went to make our bed, I discovered that Mia had been driving her Barbie Jeep around on the bedspread. I think Barbie and the Loving Family Man make quite an odd couple. When I pointed this out to Jeff, he suggested maybe she is the Amazon Barbie.
