Journaling Reads:
Since I knew your school photo was coming up, I tried to get you to learn how to smile properly to the camera. Day after day we practiced but your smiles never stopped being awkward. You would look down, all demure, and make this fake smile. As we approached the big day, things seemed to be better. I thought that maybe all that practice was finally paying off. On the day you went to get the photos done I just wished for the best. And while you were looking at the camera, your smile was as goofy as ever. I will cherish this so much more.

Hi Karen,
I Love it! That’s how they all tend to look, I think it’s like getting your drivers license picture… I have not seen Carmen’s yet, but I just got copies of Skye’s, my 12-year old grand daughter. She looks goofy in hers! She wanted to get a re-take done, but my daughter liked the first round, as do I! (Skye has wanted to be a teenager since she was about 3 years old, it’s nice when there are pictures of her looking like a kid!)
The layout of Nathaniel was a shock by the way. It’s amazing how much he (and all of the little people!) change in a year’s time.
I hope you are having a wonderful time with your sister. I am upstate, but it seems like you came at a good time weather-wise. Take care and enjoy!
Pat
Hi karen!
L.O.V.E that picture, I always have to make my eldest do retakes when it comes to school portraits (or any other shot really)
