First, I would like to thank everyone for their excellent support on my last post!!! This will be the last great picture taken with Griffey Long Stockings! It was great to get so much response, fuels my hopes of readership! :) Without Further Ado...- Vests: Children's Place, Charcoal, Chocolate, Grey
I love vests, Dad doesn't , I win :)
- Shirts: Perfect shirts at Gymboree, Big Boys khaki stripe, Lincoln Check
- Pants: Dark brown cargos, lovingly purchased for all three at Gap,
- Shout out to Gap! Oh so great Cargos!
Much to my husbands delight I found matching clothes in our closet! A tie and pants in the perfect khaki and a dress with both brown tones and a hint of Girlie Charm! Viola! Family Picture!
Our last professional family picture was 3 years ago. Yet, it was an ordeal to convince THE MAN of the gravity of the situation. Seriously! The dad mumbled and grumbled, played dead on the floor, invented a disease, spilled kool-aid on his shirt, and every other attempt at avoiding the adventure. I told him, these were my words, "What if one of us was injured severely or died and we never took a family picture?" I have a real fear of this. When I was 8 months pregnant the insurance guy scared me into doing a will and buying life insurance... he even warned me against going on my vacation without it.
After all of the dust settled, pictures purchased, little people chased out the door, I looked down and realized, Holy Crap, I forgot to wear a bra!!!

At least now when I die in a firey plane crash it will be a peaceful death, knowing we took family pictures.
I'm just glad you got to sleep in until noon. Cranky kids I can deal with, cranky wife...
:P
They turned out great, even if it was a super headache. Love you, sister.
OH yay!! You did get a family picture done. Hey, at least all 3 of yours are actually looking at the camera AND smiling! That's enough right there to say you had a successful session!! Where did you get them done at? Totally cute!!
Bra or no bra, they look really good. You can't even tell! ;) Family pictures is a battle worth fighting,and thankfully you can't see headaches in pictures.
At least you have those long locks to cover the no bra situation! Your family looks adorable!
I was thinking the same thing as jacksandmax...long locks cover no bra, no problem. I love family pictures...not the taking of them, that's painful, but the enjoying of them afterwards. I'm glad you were able to convince Brian of it's imporatance. Dead, dismembered or alive and kickin'...they are a good thing to have.
Well, for all the "drama" they turned out splendidly. Seriously, cute picture, glad you convinced Brian to do it. Laughed out loud at the no bra comment, not only 'cause it was just funny, but more becuase the impossibility of that EVER happening to me was overwhelming. These bad boys of mine can not be forgotten when bra-less. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.
Oh, and thanks for commenting on my blog, I always enjoy that.
Cranky... i do not think any S.A.C. can be cranky.
S.A.C. can be anything she wants to be, what part of "Supreme Allied Commander" do you not understand?
Did you re-write this? I thought it read differently the first time i looked at it.. maybe Im going nuts.
Good point. I like to think that title is transferable... I am reminded all too often it is not.
i know, i know i'm a slacker. i haven't blogged in a month. but if you click on my name here it should give you my profile which will give you my blog address...you do a much better job with yours btw. i'd rather read yours than mine anyday!
love the family pics, both the story and how they turned out!
Wendy, Where are you going to hang this wonderful picture, or is it already up? I love it.
Beautiful pictures! :0 Plus, the bra comment just about did me in. How is that even possible?? :)
