My good friend Lara and I met to take some pictures of each other and some of our kids. I just love my family pictures! Thank you so much Lara! It was fun to be on the other side of the lens for a bit:) And the extra helpers around got my kids to smile, and the dimples to come out!

She started walking away from me…I love this picture for that very reason!

This is a classic of our family. I wanted to stand in a line holding hands all cute. He wanted to roll down the hill like 5-year-olds do. I was in the process of snapping my fingers and demanding that he stand up and obey right away. I think it’s working, when I pull out that snap and my serious voice the kids listen right up:)
