I have a beautiful family. And sometimes I just want to capture the beauty for all to see...on my walls. So, I cajole the girls to wear outfits I laboriously pick out, choose a scenic spot, wait for the father of these beautiful kids to be available and off we go. Two hours and hundreds of pictures later we come home defeated wondering why it was so hard.
After this last photo session in January on a Sunday, Hannah's school journal entry on Monday was titled "Worst Weekend Ever!" The whole entry was about how awful our family photo session was. When we even mention the place where we went for the pictures, she breaks out in tears. (It may have been a cold and windy day. And there might have been some lips turning blue during our attempts. In defense, though, Hannah's lips turn blue with anything lower than 72*.)
But, sometimes the stars align for us and we can achieve a family picture that is wall worthy! Knowing that Mother's Day was approaching I just knew it had to be done. So after church, Emily picked out outfits (didn't she do a great job!?), while I took a nap! I chose a spot with lots of options, the sun was just right and the weather conditions were perfect for Hannah.
The pictures are already on their way to Grandmas' houses as I internally scream, "Hallelujah!"
