Photo shoot?

I tried to take pictures of my boys the other day for a project I am working on. We ended up with quite a few like this:

Eli doesn't seem to know how to just smile without being cheesy. And Simon thinks he is looking at the camera, but mostly is too busy with something else. We got a couple of cute pictures though.

Then we thought it would be fun to do a family photo. We hooked the camera to the TV so we could see our pose and used the camera timer. It was fun, but did not yield any great photos. Lots of fun, goofy ones, but I guess that is what we are.

Alice was the only one who cooperated and sat still....and I actually managed to capture a smile. She is doing more of that everyday, still not a lot, but more. One of these days soon we'll get some really good smiles.
