Family Pictures

Today we had family pictures taken since it's our first Christmas with Cameron and let me tell you, that was an experience! I was pretty proud of myself that I was able to get Cameron and myself ready in time for our appointment. John met us during his lunch break at the studio. We are not unlike millions of other people rushing at the last minute to get their pictures taken and their Christmas cards sent off. I arrived at our appointment on time only to find that EVERY single parking spot in the parking lot was taken. I had to park about a mile away. And did I mention is was 80 degrees today! That's right! 80 degrees in December! Unbelievable! So I parked, grabbed Cameron and his car seat (it's gotta weigh close to 25lbs by now!), I put his diaper bag filled with about 7 changes of clothes on one arm, my purse on the other, then proceeded on my mile hike. By the time we got there I was 10 minutes late and sweating! Lovely right before you take a picture huh! I seriously struggle! This whole picture taking thing with kids is no easy task. I think it will be close to impossible for me to take a good picture of myself until he is able to get himself ready and is able to walk on his own and carry his own stuff. Anyway, thought I'd post some of the pictures we bought...
