And Grandma Thought I Might Forget to Take Pictures of the Kids...

A little while back we had our pictures taken for a church publication. Somehow our photos were misplaced/erased, so we had to do them again. After the second photo shoot, I had the kids go in the backyard so that I could take their pictures too; the photographer took family ones at the church, and some of the kids, but I wanted some pictures of them individually. 

They actually cooperated! Enthusiastically!

They just wanted to be outside; it was a gorgeous day.

Michaela is almost always ready for me to take her picture. 

She is such a little lady.

Eliana was being a bit silly. She was amped up and it was not easy for her to sit still.

She stopped a few times for me.

She makes me laugh!

Even Christian let me get some shots.

I asked them for a sibling picture. Christian was under the impression that this would count. 

I talked them into a couple more...that didn't involve the swing. They seemed to enjoy the whole thing, which I can't always say...

Then back to play...

And a fun finale...

Next time I'll have to get one with each of them! 

P.S. I'm a fan of make-up when it comes to pictures of myself these days. Ha!
