A COMPLETE FAMILY?

A Sunday afternoon at the Sacramento Temple grounds.
How peaceful and lovely.

What a beautiful place for family snapshots.

Except, Calli is too busy...


saying "cheese" on her own terms

and pondering


playing in the flora




and discovering the fauna.


She's peering through doors



and trying to get in!



Enter--the nephew. He's taken a liking to Dan and though he likes to explore as much as his female counterpart, he has no problem pausing for a moment to fill in the negative space.



Clearly this is an opportunity he won't miss.
He's going to do the toddler inevitable...
actually cooperate and MORE.
ALL ON HIS OWN.


When he snuggles up to Dan, I start to lose it.



Yep, I'm gone. I can take no more.
He's putting his arm around the baby for crying out loud!


Why do family photo shoots always cause drama?
At least Little Man made this one a comedy too.

Too stinkin' funny! Calli has been replaced & she doesn't even know it...based on the sweet pictures of her explorations, I am not sure she'd even care.

Great pictures too. Luke has the most precious little mouth. He is really starting to grow.

Clearly, Calli knows what it's all about it of all the places she is trying to go, it's into the temple:)

It wouldn't be a family photo shoot if the little toddlers didn't cause some kind of drama! :)
I still think your pictures are cute, even if it doesn't have all the right children in it!
