Family Photo Shoot

Having recently taken the kids by herself for school photos in the last few months, Keri was a bit concerned about how our formal photo session would go yesterday. As the eternal optomist, I was saying - It will be fine...we have cute kids. How hard can it be.

The photographer was terrific. Our good friend Donica came over and burned about 4000 calories trying to get our kids to look at the camera. Unfortunately, Ian decided that he very much disliked being on the white paper background that we used for ALL of the photographs. And Owen somehow LOST his ability to smile a natural cute dimple filled smile. He seemed to either leer like the Joker on Batman, or give us a half hearted grin that looked more like a squint on a sunny day.

In the end, we had a few great pics. Sometimes it is the photo that reminds you of the situation that makes you smile the most. That is at least what it was for me.
