Coming Soon!

Family Pictures!

We just had them today.  I'm not making any promises, but still I'm excited and hopeful because it's the first time we've actually sought out someone else to take a nice group shot for us.  However, I was so overanxious about them that we ended up with two botched haircuts, everyone wearing blue shirts but Daddy*, and only a 40 min. session instead of an hour long one.  But, hey, it'll be us, and hopefully everyone will be smiling!  Okay, except maybe N.  Baby's are given that excuse.  

Overall, though, we really had a great time during it--so much so that I think we just might do it again sometime. . . . in another five or so years, that is.  (Sooner would be great, but we'll just have to see how life goes, eh?)

Here's a shot S got of Lil'S and H looking at some ducks after we were done.

*We originally planend on the girls in brown sweaters (with baby blue accents) and the boys in baby blue but Daddy didn't have a brown shirt to match Lil'S and N, except Lil'S's blue shirt is too bright, but we can't put him in brown because then he'd be the odd-man out, so boys in ? and oh look daddy's blue shirt is too bright so what should he wear?  Oh, his green eyes look great in that green shirt.  Daddy in green!  So, should we put H in yellow because she look so much better in yellow than blue?  Then boys in green and girls in whatever, which for H was a new blue dress she'd just been given, yet the Mom ran out of time to put sew new buttons on her brown sweater and pulled on her teal blue fitted top she's been eyeing.  Then the two boys then ended up wearing different shades of blue as Dad followed Mom's scatter-brained, directive shouts as she dressed in the bedroom.  That's how Daddy ended up being the odd ball out.  But, hey, we grabbed a brown shirt for N on the way out the door, so maybe in at least one shot Daddy won't stand out too badly.  :)  How's that for stream of conscience?
