Family Pictures

While we were in Missouri this summer, we subjected ourselves to the ordeal known as Family Pictures.  Back in 2012, we had the very talented Mark Neuenschwander from 9art photography take our family pictures and were pleased to find that he still lived in the neighborhood and would take some more pictures.  He was willing to meet us at 7:30 in the morning (on the day we left to go home) and we got some great pictures.  And also, nobody ended up in the ER this time.

This is where Edwin tries to eat Sophia's arm.

This is where (most) everyone - okay half the family - smiles.

Mark tried and tried and tried to get Edwin to smile, but instead we got a a series of pictures that strongly remind me of Calvin's holiday pictures.














That counts.  Even if it's in some weird froggy-dinosaur-dog pose.

Joseph, always willing to smile (and with a newly-scraped knee).

And Eleanor.  I hope none of the children mind that we love her best.

And again.  Because, Eleanor.

Kathleen, still little, but not for long.

The girls.

The boys.


The one time Brandon smiled for a picture.
The End.
