So, all you moms out there…Do you stress out when it’s family picture time? You’ve made the appointment. You’ve chosen the clothes (which, that alone is a big pile of craziness, trying to get clothes that are the same style AND color coordinate). Everyone gets showered, and hair fixed and then you hold your breath until you’re AT the studio (whew, no skinned knees or hair disasters). The pictures are taken, turn out fairly decently, and you high-five yourself that you survived it! lol…

Tonight, we had our family picture taken at our church, for the directory. It’s the first family portrait we’ve had taken in years. When it was time for their “so, here are all our wonderful package deals…” we had to explain that in the (very?) near future, these pictures would be a tad outdated because we’d have a new family member. We did order a few, though, because they turned out well. And, like the nice sales lady said, we can remember this time, before sweet Lainey joins us.

I made the kids pose at home, still in their color-coordinating photo duds. I have to take advantage of it when they’re clean AND match, right?
