as promised

I figured out early on that letting kids be themselves (especially the photo-reluctant ones) I can get my favorite pictures...and then of course, they're more likely to take just a couple of 'regular' ones. In fact, Jacob got in trouble on picture day for not "cooperating" with the photographer. He had to take his picture 6 times. In my opinion, the photographer was (understandably) a little tired and cranky from taking a thousand different kids that day, and he wasn't patient enough to find out what it'd take to get Jacob to smile for a 'pretty picture'
As promised, here are some of Jacob...









and my favorite...
