Nice thread idea Lut!

Here are my three as kids. I "inherited" them when I got married when they were 11, 13, and 15. I sorely wish I knew them when they were young.
Here's the only portrait I could put my hands on real fast. I giggle at this one every time I see it -- Heather in a frilly dress??? and she accessorised with sneakers I have no idea how old they were here.


On to the now.

Tony is the oldest, now 20. I can NOT get a serious picture from him, even AFTER hubby threatens to yank his tongue out, I still get stupid facial expressions or illicit hand motions Oh well, some day he'll look at all the photos and ask "what was I thinking?!"


Then we move to Ashley, who we all know about. She's 18. I took this picture a few weeks ago at a family reunion. The lighting was pretty bad but I love the expressions of both her and Cameron


Lastly, is Heather who's 16 now. I also have troubles getting serious photos from her. This also includes my "good son" Luis. I adore this boy, and call him my "Good Son #1" because he tells me whats going on in his life and doesn't give me grief like Tony LOL! He's one of my son's best friends who happened to become a good family friend.


Lastly, a "serious" (well as serious as they get in this family) family portrait I took last Christmas. I sure wish the lighting on this was better too. Better luck this year with a baby involved in the photos!
