All these years I've taken pictures of my kids on their first day of school. Did I ever even THINK to take one with me in it too? Nope. Well, thanks to Carin's "mom's missing from the pictures" challenge, I did it this year!
The other pictures of the kids are on this post.
The very reluctant senior...not only did she have to GO to school, she had to have her picture taken AGAIN and then to top it all off, one with mom too!
My youngest sweeties. No problem getting pictures from them! and if Mom is with them in a picture, that's even better. The best thing? Going to school! :D
And one more here....I get very few pictures anymore of our oldest son, hardly any of him dressed up lookin' spiffy, and pictures of me with him...well, lets just say that it has been a LONG time! (no, he wasn't going off to school!)
Great pictures! I am glad you've come out from behind the camera!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. You have some cute kiddos!
ReplyDeleteOh those pictures are so wonderful! I bet they are all so excited about school, even if it means being excited because it's her last year =) Thanks for letting me know about having the wrong week... uhhhh, do you think I should do my posts a wee bit earlier in the day? Great pictures, glad you got so many!! =D
ReplyDeletehence... the reason for enjoying Mondays! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy mom never got in the pictures that she took of my sis and I on our first days of school. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea. I usually take just the kids but this year I'm going to include me. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteVery wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteisn't it funny how having mom in the picture changes as they grow. When their little they love it, teenagers - not so much, but as grownups we love having Mom in the picture!
ReplyDeletewe're looking forward to our 1st day of school too! :)
i'm still taller than all my kids...wonder how long that will last! Nice to "see" you, Maxine...You do an awesome job with them!
ReplyDeleteYour kid are so cute! My daughter gets in her "non picture taking" moods too. I just force her..lol.
ReplyDeleteI literally lol'd at your last sentence about your son and school!
Haha~ What's Lyss going to do on her wedding day??
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you got so many pictures with your children! You have such a wonderful family!
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have jumped in the pictures on my oldests first day of school.
Those are great pictures. It is so nice to meet you. Your family is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood pictures. Glad we are getting pictures now with you in them. Next year we will have to work on getting pictures with Dad as those seem to be few and far between also.
ReplyDeleteWow, where was Derek off to looking all spiffy?!
