Here we are in Orleans, MA, where my family has vacationed since I was a little girl. We have been taking family pictures for the past few years and this year's chosen spot was the gazebo down at Nauset Beach. The day was gray, foggy and a bit chilly, but inside the gazebo things went pretty well, considering we have 8 adults and 6 children to account for!! Above is a rare picture of Ted and I, courtesy of my mom...thanks, Mom!
It's amazing how much Teddy has grown up since we first brought him to Cape Cod as a toddler. He looks like such the little man compared to his younger cousins! Teddy's been having a ball up here playing games with his cousins, playing ping pong in the garage and making sand castles on the beach.
Ryan, too, has grown up so much over the past few years. His birthday and his cousin TJ's birthday are just a week apart, so we have been celebrating birthdays all week, it seems! Ryan turns 6 in a few days and I can't believe it! Ryan fully enjoyed our day at the beach yesterday, splashing in the frigid water, getting all sandy and building sand castles with daddy and Uncle Mike. Life is good at the beach!
This picture is the "crown jewel" of our photo session the other day:-) Every year I torture my whole family by making them pose for family portraits on the beach. We can usually get most of the participants to smile and look pretty, but it is challenging when there is no photographer behind the camera...note the camera remote in my hand!All in all, it was pretty much pain-free and we got some great family pictures!
After this week you may have to change the name of your blog! Not too much sun outdoors, but plenty of sunny times indoors : ))
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the family pictures once again. We love having them.
