I haven’t been posting as many photography posts this year because for awhile last Christmas it felt as though they nearly ran over my family blog. But the other day I took these and they were so much fun I just had to share. Jo is my sister-in-law and my good friend. I love being with her for many reasons. One because we are good friends and we laugh a lot. Another is just to see her be mom to her kids. She is as relaxed about parenting as I am high-strung. Her kids tumble but somehow manage not to get seriously hurt. Her baby girl climbed up onto a tractor outside while Jo had her back turned and when Jo found her she ran inside to get her camera so we’d believe her while I would have had an unbelievable blood pressure spike as I race to “rescue” my child.

It’s so much fun to do their pictures because Jo does not stress. Not even if Elliot got completely coated with blackish marks on his khaki pants within three minutes of being out of the van. “Oh, my,” said Jo. “I guess I’ll have some scrubbing to do when I get home.” I can imagine the feelings welling up inside of me after I’d carefully bathed and dressed everyone so we could look perfect for pictures. But Jo didn’t do that and so her kids stayed happy and so did she! I need to be a lot more like her. Even my brand new chiropractor looked me straight in the eye and said, “You need to relax. When you’re driving down the road, you need to say to yourself, ‘relax’. When you are talking to the boys, you need to say to yourself, ‘relax’. You need to tell yourself often, ‘relax’.” I wonder why my mom and David both chuckled when they heard that?

So here are a few of my favorites. You can find the rest of them here<\/a> if you’re interested.
