I am sure most of you have already seen these on FB but I thought I would just post a couple of them on the blog as well as I am just now learning how to make a collage!!!
It has been exactly one year to the day of our last family photo's which amazed me when I realized this. The kids birthday's were back in May and I was wanting to get their pictures done around then. I guess it takes me quite some time to get my act together and actually get the pics done! You would think I would have learned from last year and planned better! I was so disappointed to see I was not only a slacker last year but this year as well.
It is always such drama to get pictures done. First you have to find outfits, then plan schedules, hope the weather cooperates, make sure the kids don' t have any bruises, etc, etc! This year we of course had many bumps in the road but the mission was accomplished!! The pictures are completed.
A wonderful friend of mine offered her time and talent to take the pictures. I called her last minute and she was more than happy to take them. Talk about a true friend! We had an apt with a photographer but we decided to cancel due to the cloudy skies and high percentage to rain. Around 3pm it had cleared up the skies were blue. Our photographer was unavailable so I really did appreciate Emily's efforts! I was so ready to just get the pictures done and off my check list!!! Emily did a great job considering she had two children to work with that don't smile on command! David and I were not planning on getting in on the pics but we did stand in on few. They turned out great and I treasure pictures of my Children. They bring me so much joy and I could look at them all day long!!! A Lot of effort but well worth it!!
