I posted a picture in my last blog and forgot to comment on it, but it is what i consider a miracle. It's a good picture of Bode and Keegen.
Together. Happy. Cute (if i do say so). Keegen is not a problem to photograph. Bode is the difficult one. Always has been. I took him for portraits at 3 months and it was a disaster. Come on! At 3 months? Yes, disaster. It never mattered that he was well-rested and fed. Bribes were no use. So I stayed home and did my own portraits as best i could. Tried again for his 12 month portrait. TOTAL disaster. I remember he looked at the photographer as if to say, "Are you kidding me, sister? That silly hat and goofy talk won't work here." I'm hoping that this attitude and personality trait means he will not succumb to peer pressure in the future. That he won't care what other people think or want him to do (as long as "those people" aren't his parents or other positive influences). I haven't taken him back to have a portrait since then. And then here are these great pictures in front of our tree. Bode with a cheesy grin. Both sets of eyes looking at the camera. Doug took them before church. I had to be to church early and asked him in an off-hand sort of way if he'd try his luck. Well, what luck! I'm ecstatic.
