Five little cousins, sittin' in a row.

We don't live all that far apart, but it still isn't all that often that all five of these kids get together in one place at the same time.

Even less likely that they would all stop the running chaos that is toddlerhood for two seconds and be in the same frame of a camera's lens at the same time.
Joy, bless her heart, decided to sit them all down and do just that.

I was impressed enough by that and didn't want to push my luck by trying to get them all to look at the camera at the same time. This is pretty much the best of the bunch.

A black and white edit just for fun.

Another edit just for fun.

But they were all there, at Grandpa's, for his birthday. Here's Lily.

And Tirin.

Connor. And a gun.

Pearl. And a gun.

And Lia?

Here's Lia sans vampire teeth. I could take pictures of this girl all day because (a) she's gorgeous, and (b) she lets me. She's my photo star.
