I have longed to join in this family portrait project of Lucy’s over at DearBeautifulBoy but if you knew my family, getting the four of us in the same photo is a nightmare. Forget asking for smiles, as you clearly can see I will not get any. I use bribery, begging, pleading, and half the time it’s only a few seconds before I give up or they do. The kids aren’t always the fussy ones either, Mr P puts up a good fight like the rest of them. lol
This month I was excited that we got the four of us together, as I only have two other family shots since Missy Moo was born. In 9 months that’s not a lot.
I love my family.
I really do.
They make me have a sense of purpose and sense of belonging to something far bigger than my own agendas.
Their love is inspiring and is amazing to feel.
The look my kids give me, and even the look Mr P gives me makes me feel like I could take on the world with their love and support.
I am so very grateful for each one of them.
I am honored to watch them love each other, unconditionally too.
I am blessed to be their mother, his wife, the lady of this household.
We grow together as a family, a unit, a team.
I could not ask for more.
May my family be corporative and patient for me each month so I may join this beautiful project and document our lives together, month by month throughout the year. Fingers crossed for April everyone!
Oh my gosh, gorgeous portraits of a BEAUTIFUL family, love the little kiss at the end too x
thank you my sweets. they are so hard to get in the same photo its a nightmare. glad I got this one
Ah but it’s the lack of smiles that make the pictures worth taking – they’re the ones that the children will giggle and pour over when they’re older!!
So true Carie, excellent point. Although I really wish they would smile just once for me at the same time. 😉
Such cute post and gorgeous pics , love the kissie one! Your family is gorgeous xx
Thank you so much. I am so very grateful for all of them. They are so much fun too.
Lovely photographs – I wish we’d taken more photos of our whole family when the kids were younger, most of them are just of the kids!
Us too. This is the first me & mine of our family. I wish I would have done it every month no matter what and had something to go back to. It’s so hard. No one corporates either. hahaha Was excited to join in this month.
Beautiful photos. What a good looking family you are x
Thank you so much Lauren, so sweet of you to say. I can’t believe I begged and pleaded enough to finally join in for our first family portrait. hahaha
Beautiful pictures. I love that second photo – so adorable. I think the fact that family shots can be so hard to get is what often makes them even more special, no matter whether everyone is looking at the camera, or smiling, or not!
So true caro, I didn’t think of it like that. I am going to try my hardest to join in every month. Fingers crossed. 😉
Awww, these photos are lovely. And I am SO glad to have you joining in. I agree with every word you’ve said about motherhood; it can make you feel so strong and like you can take on the world. And at the same time it can knock you sideways with how fantastic it is.
