I want Olivia to be close to her cousins, because these are her closest relatives to her age. We try to hang out with them regularly so she can see them. They're good playmates, and better yet, it means the parents can sit back and try to relax just a little while the kids entertain each other. But posing them for a photo is like herding cats! After trying this, I must now give props to school photographers.






Small Talk

Last night we were having dinner at my daughter's house and saw my grandson's kindergarten class picture and as a certified rascal he took a very angelic photo. We have his 2 other pre-school pictures and he has that same cute, warm and fuzzy look. Yeah, I give props to those school photographers who can make him smile and pose.
I was surprised to learn that he had only individual photos and no class photos were taken or offered. My daughter had no explanation and we wondered why...cost, confidentiality?

Our family is so big we get these kinds of pix all the time. They are priceless.
My nephew's girlfriend is trying to get all the relations straight. We are planning a visit to my cousin's son's house so my nephew's son can meet their son! Got all that!?!
Have a great week!
