NSV: Having my picture taken with my kids
Besides my good health, the biggest NSV for me is wanting to have my picture taken with my kids. When they were little, and I was obese, I rarely let myself be photographed. That makes me sad now because there are so few pictures of me and my kids together when they were little. I want them to have pictures of us together so I feel like I am making up for lost time now.
We got our pictures taken for Christmas cards last weekend. This one is my favorite

Thanks!! I think my kids are the cutest lil things ever, but I know I am biased 
The truck belongs to a friend of mine. She had the idea for the pictures.

Beautiful pictures,Laura! I know I was the same way because I was obese basically my whole life. When my boys were small I took the pictures and was never in them. When I had my surgery in 2012 I only could find 2 different before pictures of me,and one was from the church directory of me playing the piano one Sunday. You look amazing for sure. Congratulations !
