HURRAY for us!

It's been weeks since we've convinced all three little ones to cooperate enough to get a nice group photo. (I.e. a photo wherein no one looks abjectly unhappy and the photo grouping is pleasing to the eye.) Typically Bentley is unwilling to sit with the twins long enough to take even one shot. On the rare occasions that he will cooperate, then one of the twins is out-of-sorts.

Yesterday at Costco I found a cute little kiddy couch (which doubles as a sleepover couch) and I purchased it for my TV room. We adults have our couches and now the wee little ones have theirs. The children liked it enough to sit on it for an extended photo shoot. In fact, there were so many good shots we were hard put to pick our favorite. We chose our favorite two shots for single photos and then we chose a four pack of slightly goofy (but very cute) shots.




I think these photos are nice, but we have yet to obtain the perfect group photo of our grandchildren--one in which 1) all three children are looking at the camera and 2) smiling and 3) their hands are not obscuring their or their sibling's face and 4) their body posture isn't distracting and 5) the background of the photo is nice. (The Diego print on the new couch will be covered in future serious photo shoots.) With three little ones, it's always been a trade-off with some child looking less than their best. We shall persevere on our quest and perhaps we shall obtain The Perfect Photo in 2008.
