Family Pictures

In July we had some family pictures taken.  The last time we did family pictures was when Jamisen was 9 months old and our friend Kalina took some for us at a park in downtown Houston before we moved.  Since Jamisen is almost 3, we thought it was due time for an updated picture! Funny story about when we were taking them: we asked my nephew if he could come along and help entertain Jamisen and keep him smiling for us.  Jeff gave him his keys so Braden could shake them and make faces so Jamisen would laugh.  Well when he was shaking them he accidentally tossed them in the koi pond that is behind the bench in the first picture below.  We were totally panicked because it was a dirty pond and totally impossible to see them, let alone nasty to put our arms in and "fish" (haha) around for!  Lucky for us Jeff saw a little flicker in the water, put his arm in and came right up with them! I was shocked and sooo relieved!  After that fiasco the rest of our picture taking was uneventful.  I loved so many of them, and can't decide which are my favorites!
