The Dreaded Family Photo

What do kids, who have 5 other brothers and sisters, dread more than anything else....when mom says, "It's time for a family photo".  We have had lots of family and friends ask us for a recent photo, and so I decided it was time to bite the bullet and gear everyone up for the dreaded photo session.  There isn't a professional here, so it basically boils down to setting up the camera on auto timer and hoping and praying that William will cooperate.  40 pictures later you finally have a couple good shots where everyone is looking at the camera.  We are going to put the winning photo in our dropbox if anyone would like to have a copy, just let us know, but for now you can enjoy one of the 'in between shots'.  William didn't stay sitting for this one, and when I told the kids to smile anyways, James decided to make a face.  Oh the joys of family photos when you even have to deal with the silly dad.
