Photo follies...

Since as of tomorrow pictures (at least without hats) won't really be the same any more, we tried one last time this weekend to get one good photo of the four of us.  Not in the cards.  :)

We tried a photo place, couldn't get a morning appointment so woke the kids up from naps to go in the afternoon, only to be told at the store that they run an hour or more behind schedule and their policy is that they don't call to tell you they're running *way* behind.  Since dinner time was fast approaching, we couldn't wait so we tried our luck ourselves in the back yard with comical results.

 
Oh well, we managed to crop out a parental pair shot, and cobble some random kid shots in to make a photo card.  I'm sad I never got around to getting better shots of C, the best we have are from around 3 months, pre-smiles.  The rest are mostly indoor with flash type action shots.  I used the most recent symmetrical smile shot we had for the card from around the Green Fest time, that's how I'd like folks to picture him since that's how I remember his smile too.  :)

Moments catch up:  Fun with boxes...
