Family Favorites

Sometimes you need to blog about your fall camping trip and Halloween and instead, resizing photos sounds easier and you decide to share a few of the group photos from the Family Pictures Round 1 and 2 adventure. Because it's Thursday and stories that require a lot of words also require brain cells. And you are out of them.

Or you are posting family pictures by popular demand. Because you give the people what they want. It's one of those two.

**If it looks like we just picked a random spot in our yard and crammed together for a family photo, it's because we picked a random spot in our yard and crammed together for a family photo. While Round 2 went better, it was not without its excitement. In that it started raining within 5 minutes of us going outside. Coming soon to a blog near you ... really cute photos of my kids playing in the rain. Taken after group photos were cut short because of the high probability (according to short people) that they would melt in the rain. Naturally.

Mike saw - and then caught - a snake.
And the kids all tried to use me a shield.
Then the snake peed on him. And we laughed.

It looks sweet. But this is Fiona scowling
and me telling her that I need her to pull it together.
