An afternoon of "Cheese"!

I am so lucky to have an amazingly talented friend, who takes the most precious family pictures. So, after lots of hassle - shirts ironed, Carter's hair combed (sort of), juice cup filled, extra diapers packed - we finally got out the door this afternoon to make the trek up to Anthem. We met Janelle at the park, and started taking our pictures - we only had 30 minutes, and didn't want to waste any time! Of course, Carter refused to put his juice cup down, and so it made it into the first dozen pictures. Carter wasn't really thrilled to be forced to sit still, so we tried to distract him by looking at the train and the ducks - it worked for a couple of minutes! It was so cute to watch the silly face he made everytime he said "Cheese!"... not really close to a smile, but pretty cute anyways. I think we are going to be getting some fantastic photos back. I can't wait! Hopefully they'll be ready in about a week, and I'll post some (maybe I will have told someone about the blog by then?).
