"CHEESE"


I decided it was high time for a family portrait... little did I know how stressful of a thing this would be! I went to literally EVERY shopping store in the city of Columbus & finally found a shirt in the right shade of blue for Keegan at the LAST place I went..... Then came home to find out that Chip had accidentally shaved off one of his sideburns (not sure how one can do this, but he did)... My normally very laid back baby girl decided to scream & scream & scream & scream while I was trying to get everyone ready.
We finally were out the door and on our way with my nerves barely in tact. We arrived and preceded to spend the next hour practically standing on our heads, frantically yelling out "SAY CHEESE" to Keegan. At one point he finally burst into tears while still saying "cheese"... All the while making sure that Chip was turned at the right angle so that you couldn't see his "missing" sideburn!
But when it was all said and done Jenny did a GREAT job, and the experience was totally worth it!

I understand the stress of picture taking so much. We got the kid's pictures taken back in April and by the time we left, all 4 of us had had some type of mini-breakdown. I've been scared to try again since then. :sigh:
But I think the pic you posted here & on FB is so worth it!! I love your little family so much!! It would be great if we lived closer, I think we'd be great friends and our kiddos would be great playdate buddies!!!

I love your family picture. I love to look back over our family pictures & those of the girl's and go down memory lane. You are a great mom & in the end what a wonderful picture of you all.
