Last Sunday we met up with our friend Andrea at Hays Park so she could do our family photos (as well as a few prenatal photos of me.)

I don’t know what it is about us but we always seem to end up doing pictures outside on one of the hottest or one of the coldest days of the year. A couple years ago we did summer photos and it was 104°F that afternoon. While Sunday was far from as cold as it can get here, it was a day after this season’s first snow and below freezing.

Other then that, photos went well for the most part. Last time we did them Damian was not yet walking nor so independent, so since we were at the park most of the photos were taken around the playground. I like them better this way though, slides make for lots of toddler smiles.

After awhile though Damian’s lack of a morning nap and the snow soaking through his layers made him into a rather cranky little guy, so we went home to warm up, have some cocoa and a sleep. I love how the photos turned out (I have more in a set on flickr) many thanks to Andrea for doing this for us!
