Momma's family portraits...

The first big hurdle of the July 4th vacation, was family portraits. The smiling and happy family that we all are, this was a big deal. Thank you to my mother, father, sister and brother for being such wonderful sports and taking such WONDERFUL photos for Emily, Zachary and Jessica. They turned out so well, it was hard to choose, but here are the ones tied for 2nd best. Overall, it was much much easier than I ever thought it'd be... not to mention that the photogs at Sears were very good w/ us traditional folk who didn't want to do anything goofy... they actually wanted me, Tamara and I to lie on Fred.... uh no. This was as silly as we'd get... But they got the fun pose out of Aunt Tamara and the kids...And the kids had so much fun, they wanted to do it again... And there was a very nice picture of Jessica and her daddy...and one of "The Grands"...And one last... the Irish family portrait...The pièce de résistance (the photos tied for first) will be shared soon...
