Family Photos

 I decided we needed family pictures.  Good ones.  Ones where we pay gobs of money and someone else makes us look good.  So I did it.  And I agonized over what to wear and what to do, and was it going to be worth it. And I worried that the kids would be dreadful and uncooperative.

Last Saturday we met our professional photographer at Kintai and she spent an hour taking pictures.  The shirts all matched, and the kids were mostly cooperative. I did come to the realization that we really are not a touchy family, as she wanted a lot of hands on shoulders and arms around each other, and the kids were less than enthusiastic.  So if it comes out actually looking natural, she will be worth every penny.

Our photographer was really good with the kids, despite their shenanigans.

My handsome boy. 

Rylee was milking the piggybacks for all she was worth.  I missed Joshua giving her a piggyback and she was jousting.  Joshua would race forward and Rylee would have her fist extended  shrieking "Punch!"

Rylee wanted a picture on the bridge at the Koi Pond. 

Yes, they got ice cream at the end as a reward for a job well done. And no, Callie did not wear her pink jacket for the pictures! 

Selfie with Delaney... and her ice cream. (Apple/grape flavor, in case you wondered!)
