Apparently waaaay back in time. This is the studio we stepped into this morning for our family portrait. Now, hanging out together in a house is one thing, there are different rooms and floors we can spread out on. But, putting us all together for an event that puts us out in public where we have to behave ourselves? Not so easy. We're a sarcastic, wise-cracking bunch, some of which have little patience, and now we're going to sit for a family picture?
Here, next to this family from the North Pole circa 1989, and this Indian man? You're cooping us up in a room encased in wood paneling? Were we supposed to come in period costume? Needless to say, it all sparked a lot of laughs, which in the end always helps us get through the bizarreness we land in, and actually the photos came out pretty well. There's something to be said about capturing a moment forever, everyone looking their shiniest and happiest.
I know I'll smile every time I look at this picture, remembering not just the strangeness of the day, and the fun we had with it, but all the times we cracked each other up and got to spend time as a group. It helps that there was a loud, face stuffing lunch that followed, including a cocktail haze that makes the whole day seem fun and rosy. Yes, that's exactly how I'll remember it.
