Refrigerator Worthy?

You know those precious pictures that flood your mailbox during the holidays? You know the ones of dear friends and family members that will probably make it to the refrigerator, maybe a special display board, a prayer bowl on your table, or tucked inside your Bible? Our family set out on a mission to have such a picture taken. We thought it was a great idea to do it with our close friends who have kids of similar ages. It would be fun, right?

Chaos was more like it. It was a true Kansas day; WINDY. The kids did do a good job, their cooperative window was just quite short.

So even though this was more telling of the day . . . and why wouldn't this be the picture that leads you to pray for our family?

This is the one we settled on. We may try again as Elias gets older and can hold his head in the direction of the camera.

And for their cooperation, the kids were rewarded with a lolli-pop. Elli confidently told some friends when we were giving them a copy of our picture; "I do that for a lolli-pop."
