How Kids Respond to "Can We Take a Nice Picture?"

So we are at my home parish that I attended growing up. The scenery is quite lovely. Why don't we take a nice picture of you two? We need one for the frame at home! Can everyone smile nicely?

Take 1

Take 2

Take 3

Take 11

This is not working

Look how much they love this.

Take 14 and Ms. 4 going on 14

They are holding their ground. Is it Christmas card worthy yet?

Great. Just great. 

This is what you wanted, right Mom?

A Caring Boy

Scott and I are pretty excited about Zachary's award.  This will be his 3rd year in a row to receive the pillar paw caring award.  He has his ups and downs and he's not perfect but he does have a caring heart. At school he tries extra hard to be nice and kind to others and he also wants to make sure he does a good job on his work (sometimes a little too perfect) and in class. I think most kids do. I guess he's figured out how to make it happen. Great job sweet Zachary. So proud of you.
