The Royce Family: Royce Family 2011

When I contacted this photographer I tried explaining to her that this wasn't going to be an easy job. She wasn't going to get that "perfect" shot of all of us smiling and I really didn't want that either. I wanted pictures of us being us. She couldn't have done a better job, she never asked us to pose or pretend or even to smile really. She captured our family doing exactly what we do. We are chaotic, crazy, fun, running, free spirited and exploring. Just like we do every day. She just followed us around and was completely patient with us. We aren't a perfect family but she captured my imperfect family perfectly.... This is us.

Yesterday I told Jameson our family had to run like a well oiled machine and play like a team so we could get everything done and be happy. Today he was talking to his little sisters in his room, I guess they were messing things up. Here is what he told them... "Dont you know we are running like a whale oiled machine! We need to swim like a team!! Or we wont get anywhere in this ocean!!! "
I think he got the idea...

Last night we were sitting in our kitchen and Jameson was looking out our back door at the sky. This is what he said: "MOM, DAD!!! I see a star and it looks like Lola!!!! Oh...my...gosh! I see God, and he is taking her.... This is great." Of course I lost it, I think Rory even got a little emotional about it. So cute.

12.31.09 We were looking at our blog and Jameson saw the baby ticker on the screen. This is what he said:
"Mom, what is that?"

Its what our baby looks like right now.

Chanel: "Mom! Janeson did it!!"
Mom: "He made your bum cold?"
Chanel: "Yeah, he bowed on it like... pphhheeeewwww!"
So I called James in and asked him if he was blowing on his little sisters bum?
