Today's big adventure was taking my two little angels out to take their pictures. Now, being a photographer, you'd think that wouldn't be such a chore. After all, I clearly LOVE taking pictures. I've even made the decision to specialize in child photography. Making my own offspring the subject of a photo shoot should not be such a difficult undertaking. So we went. I dressed them all up, even down to matching shoes (which of course, you'll see here in a minute). I even persuaded husband to come along for the ride and help out.
Here's where it gets sticky. See, with other people's children, I can tell a joke or make a funny face, and it's all good. They will let out a squeal and a smile so big it'll knock you into next week. I can tell them NOT to smile, and they'll make the most beautiful natural face. It's a wonderful thing. However, with my OWN munchkins- nothing works. Nicholas, my oldest, has the I'm-Way-Too-Cool-For-This-Even-Though-I'm-Only-Ten look in nearly every picture. Ben, my youngest, has the tendency to make "Goofy Grin". We've all seen it. You know what that looks like. It's not pretty. So, I took A LOT of pictures. I mean.... A LOT. Now, rumaging through them, tossing out a gazillion with still a gazillion left to go through, I've decided to throw in the towel and ask my friend Amy to take the next batch. Geesh.... yeah. I suppose it all is, kinda funny.
Here's a few from the collection of today's adventure.

I adore the feet photo - too cute! And like you always tell me - our kids act totally different for other people than they do for their own parents. I taught several children to play piano, but trying to teach Kaylee was just more than I could handle - hehe. Hang in there - our own are always our biggest challenges, and you're not alone. They are adorable and you can't help but just "awwww" at the one of them holding hands walking down the tracks.
