My precious little ones. Today I took you for a Halloween photo shoot. It was our first one-ever, but a new portrait studio opened down the street and I had a special coupon for the holiday. I decided we would go tat 5 so it wouldn’t cause a nap conflict and everyone would be fed and happy. Unfortunately, Ruthie, your nap ran late and you cried and crabbed from the time I woke you up at 4PM until they snapped the last of the 27 pictures. Yes, I said 27. In some you were crying, in some you were frowning, and in most others you were doing “The Elvis”. I think you did that look when you were an hour old, and sweetie, you still got it! We did get you to smile though, with the promise of a sucker. Mommy delivered, you and your brother each got a sucker when we were through. Charlie, you were such a helpful boy today! It amazes me how grown up you are for 4 years old. You are smart and compassionate and you know how to manipulate your sister to smile between cries. You held Lily without a complaint and kissed her little head. You shushed her when you thought she was going to cry and rocked her while the adults worked with Ruthie. Always a ham for the camera you delighted us with smile after smile. We didn’t have a single poor picture of you! Thank You for being You! Lily, you are, and were a perfect little angel. You didn’t cry once and looked right at the camera. The only bad picture was the one where you blinked and looked like we drugged you. In the end,we got a beautiful family photo of the three of you that I shall treasure forever. My Dark Knight, My Snow White, and my delicious little Tootsie Roll!
I Love You My Little Darlings,
Happy Halloween!
Love,
Mommy
