Father's Day Picture


Okay, I feel guilty scanning this picture in, but I paid full price for the ones I bought for Tim, Grandpa Call, and Grandpa Joe. It's my friend who owns the studio. I don't think she would mind. Am I totally driven by guilt? Uh, yes. Oh well. How cute is Julia's smile? Ahhh, the miracle of the head-swap. Were you wondering how I got a semi-okay picture of all five of them without Tim knowing about it (i.e. with just one adult encouraging, cajoling, bribing, okay, fully manipulating them to give me just one smile in unison...)? I'm not gonna' lie. It twarn't easy. :):)


We started this tradition of a Father's Day Picture when Wesley was just born. We have all of them from the past four years lined up on our wall. Maybe I'll catch a few moments tomorrow and pull them down, scan them in, and add them to this post. Now that's optimism for ya. :):)

Love the picture!! I can't believe how grown-up everyone looks...it's definitely been too long! Can't wait till the reunion :-)

I love it. I love head swapping. Let's face it, have you ever seen a family picture with over a couple of kids that didn't entail some sweat and tears? Let's just say it's no wonder our family only had a few in my lifetime. I love it though. Looking forward to seeing you in the Bay area!

Look at those handsome boys, I feel like I don't even know those sweet kids any more, I hate living far away, ya know, but you need to expand on this head swapping thing, It sounds like a great idea!! Your children are beautiful!(they get it from there mom ,and dad too)

It was so great to talk to you today! And, I'm thrilled that you told me about your blog. I'm definitely adding you to my friends links so I can blog stalk you! I really hope you come back to California soon so I can see you and so you can meet Jackson. He is just a squish.
Love you!
