Bickle Bits | Cobourg Photographer

It’s been a crazy few weeks in the Bickle household, not much sleep or quiet time! During the day I’m Mommy, during the evenings and weekends I’m Photographer. I average about 5 hours maybe 6 hours of sleep at night, never in one stretch. And somehow the word ‘mommy’ has been turned into the whiny stretched out word…”moooommmmmyyyy”. But I love it (as long as I can phone my sister and complain every now and then ). Yesterday the kids went to Grandma’s to play while Nathan and I did a wedding. They always have so much fun with Grandma…I’m not sure who has more energy, the kids or Grandma.  Because we knew Chris and Rachel, we stayed for the dinner and some of the dance, so did not get back to Grandma’s house until 10pm. We loaded the car up with the four of them and took them home to bed. When we got in the driveway and looked in the back, I grabbed my camera and took a photo (not the best one since I didn’t use flash, just a grab shot for the photo album) of my four sleeping children. And no, Kaleb did not ride in the car like that, Nathan put him like that so he would be seen in the photo.

I think children are one of the most rewarding things in life. And I think that’s why I enjoy photographing them so much.  Last week as I pushed the three in the stroller, strapped Kaleb on my front and dragged Daisy (my dog) behind me to the park, I got a lot of stares, and some people stopped to tell me I have my hands full. (I used to hear “are those twins?” all the time, now it’s “you’ve got your hands full” like I didn’t already know that). Well, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I feel blessed both in my home life and work life.
