'my kids'
favorite photo of my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson-taken as a gift for my mom and dad-i talked the photographer into being sure this 'take' was printed--she loved it and we did too! he didn't want to do 'pictures' and just as the lady clicked the shot-he snapped his hands up! oh yeah, he was making sunglasses!
