Thankful.

Pretty thankful for these baby faces, with mustaches that make them just a little more mature.

Also a talented husband who can make Bar Mitzvah invites for a friend's kid and get us back a photoshoot with Joe Vaughn. (Granted it helps if the Bar Mitzvah invite is for a kid who's step-dad is Joe Vaughn.)

Max chose to wear that fedora and the blazer. He already has more fashion chutzpa than his mother.

Maddie is wearing a hair tie around her wrist because I forced her to wear her hair down. And I forced her to let me blow it out. The minute this torture (you can see from her face the torture she endured) was over she threw that hair back in a pony tail. 

We did this shoot on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. Our kids don't usually like having their pictures taken but something about that night made them relax and have fun with the process. Also Logan was there and he helps make things fun.

After the pictures we made pizzas and talked about sleep away camp and ate salad and talked about business plans and played hide and go seek.

Maybe the adults should have played less hide and seek and listened to more business plans.

I love this! About two weeks ago I posted a large family photo where we all had painted on mustaches. Rockin.

Apparently it's all about who you know. That is one fantastic photo.

I know a girl who's got a mustache tattooed on her finger, just like Max's. But tattooed. Half of me wishes I had the guts to do something like that, the other half knows my mom would KILL ME if I did.

All the while I was thinking about how much I love that photo ... and then you completely distracted me with the idea of adults playing hide and seek. Adults should do that more often.

Great photo! Gorgeous kiddos!

[Kathy from NJ]

That is a magnificent photo of two great looking kids.

Love the photo...
I would be thankful for small children with mustaches as well, just for the fact I might be able to sell them to a circus side show....

Man. SO much better than what one gets from the Picture People. I imagine that suggesting a finger-mustache pose at a Picture People studio would induce at least three employee panic attacks. And maybe shut down the entire mall.

Love it.

I love the pictures of your kids! They are so darn cute and the photo looks like a professional took it!

I feel like I've been watching these two grow up. I must say - they are both growing into beautiful people. Maddie is amazing.

[Brittany at Mommy Words]

That rocks. I would do anything (well not anything) for a pic of my kid together and looking not like crap. The picture is so good!
