The Picture People's New Ploy


I got a call about 2 weeks ago from a lovely Picture People employee inviting Jake to a birthday celebration. Apparently once a month now, they are celebrating birthdays--complete with balloons, party bags and even birthday cards. We'd get a free 8x10 portrait plus 20% off any other sheets purchased. "Would you like to schedule a time on March 3rd?" Sure, why not. It's a little early, but that's ok. The Picture People must be among the many sufferers in this economy...


Well, it was POURING today. No exaggeration. We had to go out 3 different times and with each trip to the car, my appearance took a turn for the worse until finally I settled on resembling a drowned rat.
Do I go out into the elements one more time? Or cancel? Well, at least we could get a Wetzel's Pretzel if the pictures didn't turn out... the pretzel sounded good, so we went.


Glad We Did!

such cute photos! You're reminding me that I need to get some photos of my little ones together.
I haven't stopped by your blog in a while and I' so glad it did today. I loved reading about you and your cute family and I hurt with all the cancer that is swarming around your lives. I am amazed that it's been 7 years since your battle. So glad you and your family keeps on winning!
love and miss you!
