if you know me in real life then you might know what a big deal this is. if you don't? just know that it's a pretty big deal.
we literally haven't had good family pictures taken since parker's been born. nadda. i know what you're thinking... "amy. you take pictures of families all the time! what's wrong with you?" ummm, well, i haven't figured out how to take a picture of my own little family whilst also being in front of the camera. i was complaining about this predicament to a friend who said, "ah yes. the cobbler's son has no shoes." exactly lindsey, exactly.
so even though this picture is far from the dream family photo i have locked away in my head {obviously sam's first choice of picture attire wouldn't be a white shirt & tie... but it was after church & it will have to do} i'm gonna take it. and my left side isn't even my "good" side... but? it will do. and so what if, as sam said, parker looks like a sixteen year old girl wearing her boyfriend's shirt? i kinda love it. and for the record, his socks do match. you just can't see the red stripe on his right sock. and yeah, i realize sam & parker are making the same scowl-ish expression. i kinda love that too.
to me? this picture is imperfectly perfect.
a big thanks to my sister gina for taking it.
and for good measure, here is a picture that my sister took from our last trip down there in september. it's a few months old but i love it nonetheless! can i have that tan back please??
i should mention that sam got me a camera remote for christmas. i suppose there is the possibility of setting the camera up on a tripod & seeing what i can get... but for now? this will do!
