Awkward Family Pictures

I was meandering around Barnes and Nobles the other day and came across a hilarious book. It is a collection of hundreds of very awkward family pictures. I just thumbed through the pages laughing at the awkward poses and crazy color coordinated outfits that surely seemed like a good idea to someone at the time.
Prior to the church directory portrait that my family had taken several weeks ago, the 6 of us had never had an "official" family portrait made, but looking through the pages of this book made me yearn for many pictures of the like that one day we can look back on and gag. Hmmm. Masochistic? Perhaps. Of course the church directory portrait turned out beautifully so my hopes for wretched ammunition to use against my kids were not realized through that one.
Then came Easter Sunday.
Tucker and I took turns photographing each other with the kids. During my turn behind the camera I captured the true essence that is the Hearns.


Patchy trying to dismantle picture frames from the wall as Emily wishes her phone would ring and save her from the current hell.




Emily thinks perhaps if she stares at the phone, it might ring.



Ok, I am pretty sure there were 4 kids...weren't there??




Surprise! Life is grand when you're a Hearn. Uggh, unless you are being forced to sit for pictures!
