Mom's attempts to get good pictures

I am a picture-holic and I do so want to have lots of pictures of the boys as they grow up. The problem is that the boys want me to hold them or climb me if they see me. The minute I get the camera out and try to get their attention for a picture, they immediately start coming toward me. So I found that getting on the other side of our sliding glass door worked pretty well but then there is glare...








So, I tried going inside, to convince them to sit nicely for a picture. Nope. Cameron was bouncing up and down and Connor wanted to be picked up.




So I asked for Mike's help. If I could sit with them, they might stay still long enough for a couple of pictures. That worked out pretty well. =)
