Kids' Portraits 2011

In a departure from our usual procedure, I took pictures of the children together in addition to just separately this year. I worried a little about how they were going to behave while this was taking place, since they usually don't get along terribly well for very long, but they did well and I think they even had a good time. :)

Here's to the kids: they may not be best friends now, but we'll  hope that day comes someday!

Our dear girl is eight years old, just beautiful and extremely smart. We hope she lives up to her potential in the years to come. :)

I took the children's birthday portraits myself this year on August 9 in Mason and Lansing, Michigan. I was very afraid I would not measure up to the exacting standards of photography created by my dear husband, but I think I did okay!

Our dear boy is eleven years old, very smart and very handsome. May he live up to his full potential in the years to come. :)
