Family Pictures

Thanks to my good friend, Tami, we now have some family pictures where I'm not a blimp and Jonas is not a blob (refer to the family pictures from January).  The entire effort from start to finish was 1 hour and we didn't even have to leave town.  Jared had hardly anything to complain about and the girls were great sports!  Jonas was the hardest ticket, but that's expected since he barely turned 1 and everything is more interesting than sitting still and smiling at a camera. 

The only difficulty was that about 2 minutes into the photo shoot I had what must have been a very ill or exotic bird poop all over my bangs.  Seriously.  I thought at first "who just threw something at my head?" but when I reached up to feel it, sure enough I had some caviar looking junk all over.  Luckily I had brought a tissue to wipe Jonas' runny nose and had to use it for that instead.  Go figure!  Whenever we wanted everyone to smile we would just say "think of the bird poop in mommy's hair!"

My Little Man

Hot off the press! Jonas has been such a stinker with taking pictures lately that I didn't have high hopes when we went to get his 1 year pictures taken today.  He surprised me with at least ONE decent photo.  Behold my little man.
