Come and Knock on Our Door


How do I begin to describe this picture?


It goes something like this:

Mom wanted to take a group shot of the kids sitting on Vickie's steps before the kids hunted Easter eggs. Instead of taking the picture, Dad decided to sit down on the steps with the kids. There were so many kids (including a few who wouldn't sit down) that I had to step onto Vickie's front porch in order to get everyone in the picture. I counted to "three" (like all good photographers do) and before I could say the number "three", Mae popped her head into the picture, too. (Notice the grip that Mae has on Brandon's arm.) I took many pictures on Easter Sunday...and this one is my favorite!

I have to say that 'Mae's death grip' is very revealing... it just screams get out of the way so that I can be in the picture...!

My head looks twice as big as Brans and three times as big as Jacks! What 51 will do to a person!

And it's not even her whole head. Imagine how big it would have been if the whole head made it into the picture.

Did anyone notice how Brandon is slightly pulling away from Mae's death grip? The smile on his face is precious!
