I can't believe I haven't gotten around to posting these before. About a month ago, we did an actual "official" photo shoot. One of my nieces is a photographer and I decided I wanted some really nice pictures of the whole family. It's embarassing. We get the kids pictures all the time, but I think that last time we had professional family pictures done was when Matt was six weeks old! Uh yeah, that's about 20 years ago. Where does the time go.....



Anyway, here we all are in all our glory. My niece Wendy is a photographer and she did this little photo shoot for us at a local school.



This is about as close as my husband ever comes to actually smiling in a picture. His Dad was exactly the same way. I think it's against their religion or something.


Can't have a photo shoot without Blake's didge, of course. We had Matt's guitar in a couple of shots too. Just for a little extra personality. My one request to Wendy was to find some props or a way to "camouflage" me, maybe position me behind the kids. Hmmm. Guess that one didn't work too well. Oh well.... Do you love how we got these totally skin and bones kids out of a pair of wide bodies like us? I think it's one of the miracles of modern genetics.

Wow, my hair looks pure white in sunlight, doesn't it? By the way, if you've been reading my blog for a while, this is the result of the hair dye detox I've been going through for most of the last year. I'm still getting used to the idea, but it's SO much easier than messing around with coloring my hair so frequently. My hair grows faster than normal and premature grey runs in our family - bad combo. It's still kind of freaks me out that my "real" hair color is actually gone forever, but I guess I can always go back to coloring it again if I really want to.

Anyway, that's my motley crew.
