Scared of My Own Shadow

The sun came out today. We practically scrambled out the door to soak some of it up. It was cold, but  it felt so good to get outside!

The afternoon's light played with our shadows a bit, so we decided to take a family portrait.
Funny, huh?
 That's me, holding up the camera. You know, the one in the big puffy coat. Ahem.


I thought the pictures were cute, but I wasn't going to post them because they make me look...well... large. Of course, I told Andy that and he immediately broke out into a rendition of Carly Simon's You're So Vain.

So I'm posting them. :)

But not without a something more... redeeming. Or gee- maybe that's not the word I'm looking for here. Andy, of course, played along.
 Full disclosure: I stood sideways, and I sucked in my stomach as far as it would go.
 Honestly, I could barely breathe.
 Andy could barely hold the camera still for all the laughing.
 Gosh, we are a weird lot, aren't we? :)


 Happy weekend!

  1. Maybe "largeness" is a sign of things to come. You know, the blessing and temporary largeness kind. :)

Oh goody! I love comments! :)

Sometimes blogger sucks your comments into the nether-regions of cyberspace when you hit "publish". You might want to right-click and hit "copy" before you submit it. Then if your comment disappears, you won't lose it entirely.

Also, you can always email me at amongstlovelythings [at] gmail [dot] com. I love hearing from you! :)
