The above picture is my all-time favorite of my three kids. The photo was taken while sitting on our front steps on the 4th of July in 2007. I love their sun-kissed cheeks, Madison's darling freckles and Tyler's bleach blonde hair. I even find that Grant's ear smooched by Tyler's face to be very adorable. So, I decided to try to re-create this photo, now three years later. All for the sake of creating a cool charm made by Sarah at Brown Dog Studio.It wasn't easy.
Madison said that the sun was too bright for her eyes.
Tyler had to sneeze, probably due to that sunlight that bothered Madison.
We decided to take a break for fifteen minutes to allow Madison's eyes to adjust. We also decided to change Madison's hair a little. Grant is giving me one finger because he said, "Only one more, mom!"
Grant was serious too. I told him, "No...one more, until I get it right." This caused some serious giggling. I really appreciated that they humored me on this one.
But I think I got it close enough this time. Tyler's smile isn't my favorite, but it will have to do.
Cute kids! I think Tyler's smile is great for a teenage boy!
