A Mixture

The girls, especially Grace, have been unusually open to having their pictures taken. And even taking a little direction. I really like these pictures of Gracie from last week (I posted a few already on Facebook, so you have probably seen them before).

My favorite




Of course no bed photoshoot is complete without jumping.






On Saturday we did some back to school shopping for Charlotte. She modeled for me a little. Just one for now.


Also On Saturday, we walked a little ways down the bike path and tried to take a picture of all three. This was the first frame right after Derek put Eli down and stepped away.


This was the second frame. He looks uncooperative here, but this was my miscalculation really. Eli just wanted to keep walking the other way to see what was over the bridge. If I had positioned myself on the other side, this would probably have been a successful shot. Or maybe it still is because it shows him doing something so universally toddler-like. 2 year olds wrote the book on passive resistance. Or, I don't know, maybe it was Gandhi. But 2 year olds are really good at it. They just go limp and there is nothing you can do about it.


I like these two of Charlie and Grace. The second one is my favorite. They really are very good friends. They have lots of inside jokes and they play together all the time.
