Family pictures

While Jon and Diana were in town, we decided (kind of spur of the moment) to take some family pictures. We were limited by the fact that a) we had to use a tripod, b) that tripod was broken and therefore could not be moved from the sidewalk, c) I still don't know how to use my camera, and d) there was no one to get Zoë to look at the camera.

However, I like the idea of them, the setting (which we weren't able to fully utilize), and the colors we were wearing.

The setting. Can you see the deer at the end of this row?

A couple favorites. I know you would never have noticed this had I not pointed it out, but Diana has a camera and cell phone stuffed into her back pocket in the first picture. She is not natrually so well endowed in that area.

I like this picture a lot and I wish we could have taken more like it--but, as you can see, Josh is missing because he was snapping the shot.

I think Zoë's tights mirrored almost all of our colors--we are that coordinated. Hah. Happy coincidence.

I love this one (but I wish it wasn't so flashy).

This one makes me laugh because I think they look like zombies--especially my dad. Cute zombies.

Afterwards we had a fun family lunch at Guru's. Zoë loved chewing on that copper table.

The only halo Jesse will probably ever have.

The afternoon light reflecting off the copper tables was really cool.

I couldn't decide between these.

These were a different day all together, but they fit the category.

A good attempt for 2008--hopefully they'll be even better in 2009.
