Three and Six-year-old pictures

I was secretly wondering how we were going to get pictures done this year. This is the first year Ansley is in school every weekday, and I personally know that the best pictures are taken right after a bath, late in the morning, and not on a Saturday (Picture People is like a zoo on the weekend).

So I was very relieved to remember we had fall break. And here it is, first thing Monday, and I've got some really good pictures. The other key to really good pictures is protein. In this case, it was chicken mcnuggets while we waited. I had double booked in anticipation of needing lots of warm-up time for Hailey, but she did just fine when she saw Ansley having a good time (the nuggets she ate probably helped, too).

Afterwards, we played on the playground, and then came home and Hailey went to sleep. She's had that exhausted, growth-spurt look on her face all day (woke up in a dreary mood), but amazingly came through for the photographer. Maybe she'll be a model-poser like her big sister in the near future.

I think you can see them a little bigger in slideshow mode (along with the two we don't care for) on the Picture People website. Those who know me know my email address (not the rezolutions one), and the password is the name of our oldest nephew followed by my maiden name.
