Family Pictures

Over the last week, I have been taking the kids one by one to get their pictures taken.  Then on Monday we all went to get our family pictures done.  A stress only a mother can appreciate!  First of all, you have to keep all your kids injury free for at least a week ahead of time.  Then, there is finding coordinating clothes.  And of course, on the day of the pictures, you have to get everyone ready (more daughters means more hair to do) and keep everyone looking nice and happy.  Finally, there is the almost impossible task of getting the kids to all smile at once.  A good photographer can make a big difference...unfortunately we weren't so lucky.  Ben thought we should just go again another day....but there was no way I wanted to go through that all again.  Luckily we somehow got a few decent pictures.
