Here's a little shout-out for Portrait Innovations. I love this place for getting pictures of my kids. For starters, they have a lego table the kids can play at while they are waiting for us to be called. Second, they have two "studios" within the place and have lots of backgrounds, props, etc. The photographers have a camera that's not on a tripod so they are moving around to get the shots. Also, they have two people working with your kids...one to take the pictures and one to "arrange" them and make them smile. They are not that expensive...and offer a GREAT package deal for only $9.95 with tons of pics in it. YOu look on the computer and look at all the choices on a big scree. And the best part is that you get your pictures that day! They are ready within 15 minutes of when you order them. Ok, with that being said (as the disclaimer on the pictures they got from there today:) my kids were all being stinkers...gotta love picture day. Preston was crying and just wouldn't be happy...Mallory kept walking or crawling away and wouldn't smile for anything, Logan was in a mood and kept making funny faces. Tanner was the only cooperative one today. It was almost comical trying to get all four kids to look at the camera and smile...just wasn't going to happen. So the above picture was the best they could do of all four of them. (Like I said, I love this place...just hard to get all four happy and looking:) But years from now I will look at the picture and think how adorable and precious the kids were when they were little...and that's why I take them to get pictures:)
Good job getting a picture of the kids. I'm sure that's quite a chore to get them all in one picture, sitting still, looking at the camera, with a smile. Don't you always want to say "just one, just one picture, that's all we need!!!".
How'd you sneak your camera into the easter bunny at the ann arbor mall? we went to novi mall and they had a sign up saying "no cameras allowed". (aka, please buy our $30 picture)

Why I Blog...
"You likewise will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Gordon B. Hinckley was president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when this devotional address was delivered on 31 October 2006.
Train up a child in the way he should go...
...and he will not depart from it.
