Birthday Pictures

Don't worry if the title made you nervous, no one here had a birthday recently.  Since my parents no longer care for traditional gifts we have to think outside the box a bit when they have a birthday.  For my mom's birthday this year we decided to send her some updated family pictures.  We waited until things bloomed a bit and the trees got leaves which happened to be about the day before Mom's birthday [so she got the electronic version.  (Prints are still in the works Mom.  Maybe you can comment and make some requests.)].  We were planning on taking them at the Mt. Auburn cemetery which is especially beautiful this time of year but it was closed when we got there, so we had to find an impromptu location.  It happened to be a lot colder than we expected so we were freezing through the process, and it was also later than we expected so Ezra was starving.  Despite all that we got a few decent results.  Here they are for your enjoyment (click to enlarge).




The 2nd pick location ended up being the commander mansion
at the Watertown Arsenal near our home.







This Raccoon was in the park across the street
so we snapped a few pictures.

We gave Ezra my watch to try to cheer him up.
This photo caught our reaction to him dropping it!


A special thanks to Johnny Russ our photographer for doing an awesome job!
