When I was contacted back in the beginning of May(I believe) about doing a family photo shoot, I figured it would be like all my other family shoots. Everyone shows up, looking confused, some not really wanting to be there, others ready to do this, me smiling and being totally silly. But after talking with Paula(the baby!) about how special this shoot was going to be, I was STOKED!! I had 2 months to get ready and NOT RUIN this!! This was a secret! A secret? I'm not good at lying and really not good at keeping secrets!
The plan was set. All I really needed to do was make sure Mom, Joyce(Barbra), knew where to meet me and what time. I was a ball of nerves all day. I was afraid I was going to blow it! I needed someone to calm me down, so I called my trusty companion, Lovely. Thank goodness she was back from camping and willing to tag along! (Thanks girl!! Like I said, you are my zen!) So we show up and start getting set to shoot. The plan was to start shooting with Mom and Dad(Joyce and Bob) and the kids and grandkids, from near and far, would come from behind and surprise Mom.
It was perfect!!! Mom, Joyce(Barbra) had no idea and she was completely surprised!

Isn't Mom, Joyce(Barbra) beautiful! By the way, she acquired the name Barbra from me. For the life of me, I couldn't stop calling her Barbra!! Even after correcting myself! I'm just so thankful that she tolerated my silliness on top of calling her by the wrong name!! Thank you, Barbra! ;0)
