There are remarkably few photographs of our entire little family. It's not because it's difficult to get us all in the same place at the same time. It's not because we don't have an camera which is quite capable of snapping a photo without one of us behind the viewfinder. It's not because there aren't plenty of opportunities. All of that? Totally not a problem.
The whole thing has often annoyed me almost as much as Dora's screeching voice. I try to schedule something with a professional. I try to get someone who happens to be with us to take a photo. I try to glue some people down and force compliance. None of that works. It turns out what I really needed to do was to have Alexis come home with a school assignment that required a family photo.
Someone is incapable of saying, "No," to Alexis.
Bet you can't guess who the Grumpy Grumperpants is that won't normally let me take family photos.
Oh, and a less zoomed in photo tells a whole other story:
Our dogs would be really good at photo bombing, if only they were a little bigger.
