Pictures of parents

Are ridiculously hard to come by. I have just spent the better part of an hour looking for just ONE decent photograph of all of us to use as the banner for this blog. We have one “OK” picture of us but it will not crop to the correct size. But really, out of the 10,000+ pictures we have, we have ONE decent one of all of us? My husband and I used to crack on other peoples’ Christmas card pictures of just the kids, saying, “Man, it’s all about the kids and they don’t even put a picture of themselves on there anymore! That will never happen to us!”.
HAH! I now know WHY people do this– it is infinitely easier to take a picture of your kids alone than it is to get them to sit still long enough for the self-timer or to not grimace at a stranger offering to take a picture of all of us.
Mystery solved… and watch out for our next parent-less Christmas card!
The trick is to get someone else to take the picture — maybe, ahem, me! We should all get together sometime soon!
