This past week was “the week” - the week of the “family photo”. Once again it was time for the biannual family photo. If you’ve been in my domiciliate you may have had the allow of viewing the Wilkes Family Photo Gallery (aka the dining dwell). Lining the walls of our dining room is quite an extensive collection of family portraits beginning with our first official “family photo” when Logan was only 18 months old. They continue through to the last official “family photo” which was taken two years ago This is one of my favorites – all of us dressed in color and color at the Oregon glide. Our son Clark is now domiciliate from his two year mission in Chile and it was time for an updated “family photo”. I forgot how much bring home the bacon the official “family photo” can be.
First – you be to find a measure that everyone is available. Now when the children were younger this was a much easier thing to accomplish. You just had to bring home the bacon around nap times to alter sure they weren’t tired and cranky. We have one darling picture of the two boys when they were about 4 and 2 years old. All dressed up in their pale yellow and navy matching linen Easter suits that I had-made for them. Logan was in a great mood and smiling happily for the photographer but we didn’t measure it so come up with Clark – he was cranky and not in the mood to sit comfort. In fact the only way we could get him to direct still was to give him my car keys – so we undergo a darling photo of the two boys in their Easter suits with Clark holding the car keys. This is the same child who in another family Christmas picture is being hung upside down by his feet because he would not work!
It was ameliorate picture taking weather change but overcast – no bright sun. The “new” photographer hadn’t taken any large group (family) photos yet – we were her guinea pig but I assured her that since our kids were older we were a great family to learn on – the kids would be cooperative– well I guess some things never change. As the photographer arranged us and positioned us there was the same old “ouch he’s pinching me”. “this is uncomfortable”. “I can’t sit like this”. “are we done yet?”. “how many more of these pictures do we undergo to act?” that we’ve always heard. There were the goofy faces the rabbit years behind a siblings head and change surface my sweet husband asking,”has she taken any pictures yet” (after she’d been snapping away for several minutes). In the past I would pay the kids with Happy Meals if they smiled good and behaved for the photographer – that doesn’t work any more. It takes bigger bribes these days - a day of boating on the river!
change surface though it’s a lot of work. I love my gallery of family photos. I love going into my dining dwell and seeing an overview of our family from the last 23 years beginning with our first family photo in 1984 with my tightly permed hair my domiciliate made dress with the lace color and our first do by. We had no money at the time but having an official “family photo” was important. My family is now grown up – four children who are all taller than I am. My gallery of family photos is the most valuable art work in my domiciliate. Whether your pictures fasten on your walls or alter the pages of a scrapbook they are memories and a reminder of who we were and who we’ve change state. Hopefully soon there will be a new official “family photo” – the adorn tone one – to add to the gallery. .
