family photos

more than a month ago we had new family photos taken.
it was a hot, muggy, buggy evening.
this did not create a very good mood among us,
but our wonderful photographer was patient and kind,
and we still managed to pull it together for a few quick clicks.
since i finally got around to placing the order for family and friends,
i decided to share a few of my favorites in this post.

and because in "real life" things are not always "picture perfect"...

thanks stacie!
see you again in the fall.
