The Photo Shoot

I woke up Sunday morning determined. Determined to get to church. Determined to have all the boys wear their matching dress shirts. Determined to get a picture of them all matching. I knew it would be a push to get the pictures before we left. Josh was rushed through feeding and wasn’t happy. This was the result of try number one: When we got home, I was even more determined to get the picture NOW. Because I knew Seth and Sam wouldn’t want to keep their nice dress clothes on—and even if they did, they would be dirty ASAP. Attempt number two: Calm baby with daddy before we tried setting him down. Isn’t the lighting perfect? Seth and Sam posing while Ben’s trying to calm Josh down And…fail Honestly, I just might frame this. Because the older boys look so handsome. And Josh crying face is so hilarious. And really, the lighting is perfect.

So…you may think I would give up there. Nope. I just wanted a decent picture of the three of them. I tested the water on just Josh playing on our front rug. It really was a good backdrop: Well, it wasn’t perfect lighting and Sam and Seth are back in their play clothes, but at least it’s all three of my wonderful sons: My heart is so full and happy! (Sam, Seth)
