a photo shoot

It occurred to me recently that there aren't nearly as many photographs of sweet little Luke as I would like there to be.  I suppose it's the lot of the fourth child, but the poor guy hasn't been the subject of as many snapshots as his siblings have been.  And as you can probably guess, I feel more than a little guilty about that.

When Luke was grinning in his Bumbo the other day, I attempted to assuage my mother's guilt.  But, as you know, getting a photo of only one child (Luke in particular) is next to impossible with this group.  No sooner had I pulled out the camera than siblings were angling to get in the shot.  First one, then a second, then a third.  All four kids together!

Predictably, none of the photographs was "perfect."  But somehow the series of photographs captured what no single photo could -- a real glimpse into life at our circus.

So, without further ado, a circus photo shoot:  

I love these people!  (Even though they sometimes drive me crazy.)
