An attempt at a family self-portrait

On a pretty day last week, we attempted to get a family portrait - and discovered why there is a saying in the photography industry about working with small children and animals (it goes something like this: "Don't do it.") We took several, but here are just a few that were best and/or funniest!



Lucy is thinking, "I really want to lick Eli's toes!"

And so she does!

These are GREAT!! Who needs perfectly posed pictures (although Isaac looks great in each pic, he is as well trained as any child model). These are so cute, and Lucy, bless her heart. looks like the wolf from the Black Forest. Oh well, she has a very kind (and timid) heart!
Love, Mom

MamMa and I looked at this one too. Bless Lucy's heart, she is not the most attractive dog on the East Coast, but I know she has a good attitude! Love these pictures, they made us laugh!
Love, Mom and MamMa
