My Precious Children!
I
couldn't let this picture go unblogged! I managed to get all the
kids to lay down for about 5 minutes and I took picture after picture
to try to get the perfect one. And I think I just about
did. People have asked me how I did it and I'll try to see if I
can describe the "moment."
I had them all lay down with the tops of their heads
at the ear of the nearest sibling. I had to place them in this
pattern myself. Of course Daniel (top right) was the most eager
to get up. But I acted crazy-like and kept telling them to "look
at the fan" (which I had turning above my head). I stood over the
kids, pressed the camera's button part way down (you now, to focus it),
and then I quickly leaned down to just within inches of their faces and
made funny faces and funny noises. After about 3 seconds I
immediately raised back up without even aiming or checking the image in
the camera, and pushed the button the rest of the way down.
CLICK--I got the picture. The beauty of digital is I could take
so many (about 5 or 6). By that time they were all ready to get
up.
I did "doctor" this picture up slightly. I
cropped it into this square to focus on the faces. I rotated it
about 45 degrees so that they were all at the angle and not straight
across and up and down. And then I rotated it on it's axis so
that Joshua was in the top left corner. He had the most
"unnatural" smile and so it looked better Upside-Down.
And Voila! I just love this
picture!!! The only thing I might do different if I tried again
is to put them on a more neutral background (I already had Miriam on
the pink taking her picture so I just did it there) and I'd have them
all dressed in the same color (this was very spontaneous and 2 of them
are still in their PJs!).

I'm a Christian, homeschooling mommy of 4 blessings--3 awesome boys and 1 precious girl. One major goal in my life is to raise these children, whom God has entrusted to me, to first love and serve Him and second to become life-long learners. Only by God's grace am I given this awesome and very rewarding experience! It's my joy and pleasure to share some of my journey in this blog.
