Trying to take the perfect picture

I tried to get Evan to pose for his birthday party invitation but it was no easy task. Here are a few of our shots, in chronological order...

Why even look at the camera?



at least he's somewhat smiling



What picture is complete without red chair and grape in mouth?



and the ultimate winner. We just gave up after a while!

Here's hoping your Turkey Day was happy and the rest of the year is great!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving Tara!

As you know I can relate to not getting a good picture of David. Instead of frowning, he has now resorted to running away from the camera!

I love that last picture. It's such fun. That shirt is perfect.

Too funny. Me and my friend Ang were just talking today about trying to get that PERFECT picture.....I think that that is a myth.....I mean is there ever a perfect picture with kids?!!?!?! Need I remind everyone of my slideshow of like 200 pictures in the attempt to get Christmas card pics last year?????

I look at it this way...at least he is cute in each and every one of those pics!!!

Too cute! I share your pain. And it only gets worse when you're trying to get TWO of them in the shot - just wait. The fun hasn't really even started yet! By the way...we found out we're looking forward to baby girl number 3 (well, 2 for me, 3 for him) - looks like we should've switched to drinking each other's water or something, right? I suppose I'm thrilled not to HAVE to buy tons more clothes...but I kinda' WANTED to buy more clothes...you know me! Now if I had any idea at ALL as to names...we're nowhere near nailing anything down. I suppose March will have to roll around first. Hope you had a terrific holiday and I hope to see you soon - let's drag Chris to lunch one of these days!
