"I'd rather have a root canal"

And with that comment from Chad we left the portrait studio. Pictures are a blast with two kids, especially a two year old. OK, not so much! We did, surprisingly, get a few good ones. Notice Nathan's smirk in the picture above. Not a true smile, but I'll take it. I'll put a few on this post.

Thanksgiving is upon us already. I am very thankful for my wonderful family, all the friends God has given me here in NC, my church family and those dear 4th grade boys we teach. I pray each of you have a great Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love. May we all find joy in the little things and be thankful for each day the Lord gives us. Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are the pictures-- Nathan 2yr 3mo Cameron 10mo

EngineersFalcon said...: Your boys are so precious. Many of us have had those rough picture days. I have actually found as much success following mine around with the digital camera and taking tons of pics as we do at the studio. Actually, we have given up on the Christmas studio pics, and taken our last two ourselves. I am pleased that yours turned out so good - I think they are nice!; November 25, 2008 at 10:01 PM
The Gardner Gang said...: I have to say the pictures are great but I agree with Chad only you can substitute a gyno apt. I do NOT like having the kids pictures taken. I hope my memory dosen't fail with old age so I can remember all the things I never took pictures of. Love your girl!; December 4, 2008 at 2:13 PM
