Getting a family photo with this crew is something of an art.
An Adventure.
An outright headache.
1. I don't know why Tommy wouldn't smile in this picture. That's usually all he does (unless you take him away from his mommy. Then he cries.)! He's definitely a happy boy. NOT that you could tell from this picture.
2. Charlie hates having pictures taken. And when I say, "Hates," I mean LOATHES. He can usually sniff a camera from a mile away and runs, ducks, hides behind, eludes said camera with an art that any detective agency would be proud of. Maybe they wouldn't be so proud of him yelling at the top of his lungs, "NO PICTURES!!", which is also part of the deal.
I'm still flabbergasted that he stood still long enough to say, "Cheese," AND smile, even if he did whip out his Spiderman hands--which I'm not complaining about. We usually have to bribe him for a long time, OR hold him upside down as shown here (Scroll down a bit.).
3. Jane cannot sit still. I don't know why, but she really can't. The ever, "I AM HOLDING STILL!" exits the mouth that is sitting on the bobbing head. Her hands are always going (as you can see in the above picture). Never a dull moment with this girl.
4. Everyone has to be in a relatively good mood. I think no explanation is needed here. Any parent--any child for that matter--KNOWS what family pictures are like, right?
SO~ with all that said, and for all the negative tones (sorry, a little sleep deprived) I'm really happy with how this picture turned out! (A big shout-out to our friend Jorge who took it!)
It really shows our personality, doesn't it?
