So, in my quest to have perfect photos of my children, I thought I'd attempt some of my own because the kids didn't really co-operate the first time. Although the one I posted earlier was cute, neither of them was smiling.
Well.
See this photo up here? Where they are both kind of smiling? It was the first AND ONLY smiling photo I got out of...oh, I'm not even going to admit how many I tried. Wyatt was cranky, but would entertain me and give me a few smiles. After this photo, Paige screamed the whole time. We tried up by the old boat launch at the beach, on the boardwalk, at Maple Leaf School and the Land Titles Office (why so many places? Clearly I am a sucker for punishment). She just did not want to stay still. I guess we'll just try again next May and hope that when she's 2, she'll be easily bribed to stay in one spot.
They way I look at family pictures is capturing us, in the moment, exactly how we are. Gavin needing to hold his monkeys that haven't been washed in who knows how long? Sure! Chelsea either scowling or making an extremely cheesy face? Sure! Your kids are beautiful and the pictures are great! Stop stressing!
