Picture Day


June 4th, 2009

Today we had our family pictures taken. Speak has done some modeling in the past and his agent is also a photographer. So we had Barbara O’Brien do our family photos. And it was a ton of fun. If you are anywhere close enough to drive out to her farm, do it. The farm is great. She’s got horses and a pony. Sheep, chickens, ducks, kittens, ducklings, chicks, and dogs. And all of them are friendly. We spent the evening following Lexi around as she chased the birds, fed the horses, held the kittens and ran around. And as we were chasing Lexi, Barb was following us with a camera, occasionally posing us or moving us to better light but mostly just taking pictures.

I don’t have any of her pictures yet, but Kevin got some fun ones on his camera so here’s what our day looked like:

First we met a few cats – then all the cats came to see us. When we got there Lexi asked Barb to see the cats. Barb said “Sure, we can call the kitties” and went “Kitties! Come on kitties!” I expected 3 or 4 cats to show up. Oh no, about 15 cats came pouring out of the barn. Lexi was thrilled.

Lexi checking out the sheep and then holding the kittens.

Finn the horse was really interested in what I had the sling. Milo was asleep at the time. Dover the pony was just the right size for Lexi.

Lexi getting a lesson in picture taking. They took pictures of a chicken and daddy.
