Coming Soon.........to my hallway






My hallway is mish mash of family pictures. There's no rhyme or reason to the frames. They are many different colors and types and these pictures chronicle the past 25 years of my life. I put up some new pictures yesterday. One each of Carly, Zac and Andie and two of Andi's family with Keegan included. There was also one of Sophie in her doggie hat.

The kids were watching a movie while this was going on and it was the very first trip down the hallway that I heard Ryan talking in his low growly voice to himself.

"OH new pictures! Let's see, there's a new picture of Carly. There's a new picture of Zac. There's a new picture of Big Guy and Andi. Not me though. And another one of them. There's Sophie in her cute hat. Nope. No new picture of me." As he continued down the hall, this one about became his undoing...
"WHAT! Would you look at that?!? Wesley gets 3 new pictures on the wall. I don't get any new pictures and Wes got three." Then I heard a big sigh.

I went into the hall and asked Ryan if he would like me to make a new picture of him to go on the wall. His face lit up like I had just offered him a "never touched by human hands" pizza and a fresh twenty dollar bill.

He wanted to have his portrait done right then. I managed to put him off till today, but you can be sure that in the next few days, a new picture will be on the family wall. One of a little boy with big eyes, lots of freckles and a soft side that he keeps well hidden.
