even if they do shoot me evil eyes every time I pull out the camera! (Spence proudly admits to the fact that he's taught Adam everything he knows about picture avoidance/giving mom dirty looks).
************************
UPDATE:
We are trying to usurp every moment of togetherness we can find while Spencer is at home. We even pulled the kids out of school a little early today to have some family portraits taken!
Unfortunately it looks like this stomach bug is making its rounds. Glen is mostly better, but as of tonight Cami's down for the count, and Spence is on the edge. Ugh!
Tomorrow Spence will have his bone marrow biopsy/spinal tap done as an outpatient, then the plan is that he will be readmitted to the hospital for Round 3 on Monday.

I am excited to see the new family pictures!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Spence does NOT get the stomach bug! Heaven knows he needs a break from feeling crappy while he's home!
Hope everyone recovers quickly!
So admire your determination to take family portraits at every opportunity. Something that I wish that mom and I had been more diligent at when you were younger.
ReplyDeleteSpence is a lot like me in avoiding having his picture taken. We have so many family pictures in some amazing places around the globe that I am not in-since I was almost always the photographer. Really regret that now looking back. Wish that I had sought out more opportunities to have my picture taken when you all (and me) were younger.
Now, I am old and fat and not very photogenic. ;o)
Dad,
ReplyDeleteWell it would be a different story completely if my boys avoided being in pictures, because they were so excited to be taking pictures themselves. Alas, I think my boys lament the fact that there is even such an invention as cameras.
Yeah, and I'm not quite sure what you mean about being good about taking family portraits, since the last one we have is from 2008 and you of all people know that all too well!
So glad you are all together again. So sorry the you guys are getting sick, I hope Spencer doesn't get it. Good luck! My boys give me dirty looks everytime I take the camera out also, and now Izzy yells at me when I want to take a picture of her. So not fair, the boys taught her to not like the camera.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it is more of an effort for Adam to not smile then for Spencer.
ReplyDeleteWe also have had the stomach bug for the last couple of weeks and it is a nasty one. I really hope Spence doesn't get it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the scowl is worse or the goofy over-smiling grin is worse. We get a lot of pictures ruined with the second one.
I love that first picture of Adam and Spence!
