The plumber's toilet has a leak...

Ok. So you know the saying about how the plumber's toilet always has a leak? No? Well, it rang true for me today! All I wanted was a picture of my two kids, together. Preferably smiling, but that was not even necessary. As an aspiring professional photographer, I take pictures of other peoples kids all the time. I can always capture that special picture of them looking totally enamored with each other that just melts their parents hearts. Is it too much to ask for ONE of those of my kids? I don't even need the enamored look, just the two of them sitting within five feet of each other without a totally weird or goofy expression would work. Preferably one with no Cinderella panties showing. I had a few extra minutes today with the kids before Steve got home and we were getting a bit stir crazy so we decided to take a walk on the greenbelt behind our house and try for a couple (let's not lie, ONE) cute picture(s). Got lots of cute individual shots:




But the shots of both of them together were another story.


Here I got Noah to sit down, he is ready for Grace


He takes one look at her



and books it.



Probably because this is usually what she does to him (her hugs are ALWAYS around his neck)



He's no dummy. By the time we got home, they were so thirsty that they wouldn't let go of the water bottles long enough to take any pictures without them in the shot. This is the closest I got to a picture of them together...at least it really does capture their life together with each other :)
