even though i have taken like a kazillion pictures of tucker in his life, there was one i was really excited to have taken. the annual school picture. some of my photographer friends are probably cringing!
i had no idea what kind of facial expression i would get when the pictures returned. would i get the BIG CHEESY smile that made his eyes disappear? would i get a stone cold look? would he look awkward? mad? dirty? haha. i was so excited to see him bring the envelope home so i could finally see.
i think it was just perfect. having the cookie cutter photographer take a picture every year of my kid is going to be a tradition here. it's something i can't wait to compare with his dad's old school photos. i'm also looking forward to being able to compare all my boys pictures. :)
the cutest thing though, was that tucker was bummed that i put the 8x10 of his picture OVER one of the framed pictures of matt and i from our wedding day (i covered up the ugly one, i still have my favorite one out). the kid pretty much melts my heart in print and in living color.
He looks so grown up in this portrait!!! Wow. I also have a tradition of school portraits... I have them from 12 of the 13 years I have been teaching. CRazy to see how I have changed! I scanned them all a few days ago and plan to post about it sometime this month for NaBloPoMo

Jenny, I love school pictures! In fact, my kids get them done at the daycare and just had them last week. I can't wait to see the envelope in their cubbies! They are a treasure in my house :) ps....Tucker sure is a cutie pie!
