family portrait

we have been a family of four since january when we adopted mckinley and have not had one single picture of the four of us together! very sad.

so, on a whim, on our most recent afternoon at the park i thought perhaps i could put our camera up on the concrete ledge near our usual spot and we could get a nice picture of the four of us using the ‘press the timer, run over, get the dogs together, try to get them to look at the camera that is just sitting on a ledge without any person behind it to whistle to get their attention, and smile method’ – not easy.

and to make things even more difficult, my camera kept focusing on everything except us! over and over and over again.

(even if this were in focus, this isn’t what we were going for)

(we managed to get mckinley, but where’s meeka??)

(oh, here is meeka… but where’s mckinley??)

when i finally got the camera focusing where we needed it we managed to get a total of one photo with all of us in it. not great, but at least one of all of us together exists! and we’ll just have to make sure we get a better one sometime soon.
just ingnore the fact that meeka is not looking at the camera at all, kinley looks like she is wearing a little party hat (which i actually really, really like), and it was smack in the middle of the day to she shadows are suppppper harsh. sigh.
