Family Picture: The Outtakes Edition

We were so happy to get a family picture because it has been a long time since we have all been in one place, smiling, and looking at the camera. It was, oh, how do I say this???? - - - a challenge. I will only give you 5 outtakes, but you must understand that of the 100+ pictures we took, we only got one.

Yes, one good picture.

But you only need one, right????? So don't be surprised when you see this picture turn up everywhere. If you get a Christmas card - - - yep, there will be our picture. Log onto facebook? yep, there will be our picture. Check your email at our house? yep, the wallpaper will be our family picture. You get the picture. heh heh heh. ;)

Anyway, onto the pictures and witty captions.

Bossy Mom caught in action. But what mama isn't bossy. Doesn't Noah look a little bit like he is not trusting this shot?

Wouldn't a picture of us all hugging be soooo cute? Don't be alarmed. No one was hurt in the making of this picture. Newborns naturally scrunch. So, rest easy.

Wyatt is shocked that we are still taking pictures. I am just focusing on the picture. "Keep smiling, Katie, keep smiling. You can only control yourself." Noah obviously has something important to say. If only we knew what it was.

I suspect that this captures the very first moment that Wyatt will give us that indicates that he will be a moody teenager. Even as a 2 year old, he is in touch enough with his emotions to know he doesn't like to be told how and when to smile. Katie, just keep smiling. Or, look like you are napping. Either will do.

Though not an official member of the family, he was a willing participant in the photo shoot.
