Yearly Photos

I am leaving these small because there are so many I don't want to click on each of them and make them big.  I always have these grand ideas that I will take each child out individually and do a formal photo shoot with them.  It never happens.  I finally just threw everyone in the van, dropped Jackson off to do an errand, and started driving around.  When we saw a building one of the kids liked, I stopped and took that one child out for a 5 minute or less photo flurry.  I left everyone else in the van listening to a book on disk.  I want to redo both Alexander and Eleanor.  I don't love the look of Alexander's location and he wasn't in the best of moods.  By the time I got to Eleanor the sun had set and it was REALLY dark, so the color is funky and the photos are grainy.  Plus, her face was somehow dirty even though I had washed it before we left.  I am glad I did it, though.  I think it was a successful 30 minutes!
