siblings...

my children
~now both full fledged adults at 18 and 21~
whined and complained
when I mentioned those two awful words
"photo and shoot"
and
then pointed to both of them
~~
they gave me 30 minutes this past sunday afternoon to
"get the job done"
and
surprisingly
I did get a few that will work for our christmas cards
but
most of them turned out like this
where the love factor was just overflowing
and
made me wish that I had given birth to 6 or 7 more
just like them

  4. My testosterone trio, at 38, 27, and 25 are the same way. I have to pout and threaten to get them to let me take a photo...when Alex marries in May, at least, I hope he'll soften a bit - he will, occasionally, allow a photo with the two DOGS. Of course, they never minded action high school football and college photos and Jeremy liked his division one college track shots, leaping over poles, etc...a gangle of arms and legs. Go figure!

  5. Hi Beth thanks for your sweet words on my post. Yes I should have made them kick there legs high up in the air. But didn't notice until I've got home...and I didn't dare to ask them again. Giggles...

    Your kids look lovely playing and fooling around still at there age, I'm having a blast. Thanks for showing them to us.
    I'm gladd to know you and learn so very much from you. Dagmar

  6. You mean there is no hope? I had thought the older they got the more readily they would agree to cooperate for some photos... shoot... illusion shattered :)

    I guess you just take what they give and then cross your fingers a bit! Obviously there is something amongst their playfulness :)

  8. These pictures remind me of my two and taking photos. They can never give me a serious look, but isn't it fun?

  18. I wish you could take pictures of my little family. I think you'd catch our own love factor better than anyone I know.

  20. Did you go through a phase with them when they were younger and they wouldn't DARE touch each other? Wouldn't go near each other, just for the few moments it took to take their picture? Now look at them!
    So much love. xo
