School Days


School Picture!  What parent doesn't look forward to this glorious time of the year when you are asked to shell out good money for a picture that you won't be allowed to see until it is printed and handed to your child at school, knowing that your child is going to be SUPER offended if you don't think it is the best one ever?!

I had an email conversation a month ago about Rosey's picture, it goes as follows:

Did I mention how much I enjoy Rosey's picture.  I love it, as always!

Robin, Rosie is a doll. She looks so much like you. She is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you are so proud of her! Love Missy

She looks darling. And at least she doesn't have a headband hanging around her neck (remember those?) or her tongue sticking out between her teeth. Ah those favorite family photos that cost a good portion of the family budget.

Too funny! Sounds like Maya & Garrett when taking pictures for someone else!
