Family pictures have always been a challenge. Even when it was A and I, we had problems. My sweet husband, bless his heart, has always had a hard time smiling for pics. We try to count, try to make him laugh...anything. Now that we have three wee ones, the challenge has grown by leaps and bounds. One Sunday, I thought it would be nice to have a quick photo of the fam. It just wasn't a good idea.
W was not happy and that was our first and foremost concern. E was trying to get him to smile.
Oh, A has a pleasant smile! But I'm in the middle of energetically telling E to smile.
Take the PICTURE! Oh! A wasn't ready. He's busy muzzling W with a toy.
Oh! So close! W isn't crying, but what is E doing? O is tired.
A is bouncing W, attempting something positive...E is just goofing around.
I think this is our better shot. Even though W's crying. The rest of us look pretty normal. I guess it'll be awhile before everyone can cooperate for a few minutes. Here's hoping!
The picture attempt with the boys. Fun!
All the kids...hey E, over here!
Just us girls.
We can always count on E for a goofy shot!

Oh boy . The last family picture we attempted, the girls were four months old. You've given me courage to maybe try again. Sometime. But you'll have fun pictures to look at one day! You guys are awesome!
Sorry Jamie! I hated to delete your comment, especially since it was sooo nice and complimentary. Thanks a bunch...it really does mean a lot.
Kimberly, I'm looking forward to your next family picture. You guys will be all smiles!!
We tried to take a family picture over a year ago--how'd that turn out, you ask? Not too good! And most of us are adults! Oh, well.
Your pics are cute and natural. Try pinching A's rear--always works with Darrell!
