Trying to get the perfect photo

It is always impossible to get the perfect photo. But this one was really important. Our wonderful friends Carmen and Jim are in the process of waiting to adopt a baby from Ethiopia. They asked my children to be the models for the 8 months on the waiting list photo. Here's what we came up with...


First, I thought the kids could make an 8 with their bodies. But, it didn't look like an 8....


Then, Everett wasn't too cooperative, so I thought Madeleine could make the 8 with her fingers and Everett could look cute. But, we got "the angry 8"

this one isn't too bad....


could this one be it???


You'll have to check out Carmen and Jim's blog on the 15th to see which one they pick! Continued prayers for Carmen and Jim as they wait and their beautiful child that will be welcomed into the most loving family.
