Here goes...






As if keeping a personal journal and a scrapbook for each child isn't enough, I have decided to plunge into blogging. I hope it soon replaces my scrapbooking (for which my never-so-hot passion is rapidly cooling). And, with cut-and-past technology, keeping my personal journal shouldn't be much of a stretch. So here goes...!



You can see here the cutest part of our family. Before you start thinking "um, that's not really the best picture..." please realize that it only took me 28 tries to get all four children actually looking at the camera--sort of. We were at the MK Nature Center and the other patrons were staring at the crazy mama saying "Look at the camera. LOOK at the camera. LOOK AT THE CAMERA!! Sabrina and Joslyn, you have to always be looking at the camera because if I can get the little kids to look just for a moment, I don't want you to be the ones looking away. Now, LOOK at the camera. Yoo-hoo, Blake... Erin... Look at mommy!! Come on, look at mommy.... Looky-looky!!!" And on and on and on...! (The last picture posted below is a more typical result!)



All in all though, we had a great time looking at the fish and ducks and other wildlife. Just a fun summer outing.

Lori, these pictures are adorable. I love the "Look at the camera comment." We had a similar. In about 1999 our family went to do a shoot for a magazine. They wanted to use our entire family for a Pioneer ad. We were hot, all sitting on a camera pretending to watch a TV. It was long, et., the Japanese lady kept saying and clapping her hands, "Happy Family! Happy Family" !
