It's All So Complicated!

I have been trying for years to schedule a professional family portrait. Years. The last portrait included only one grandchild and two daughters-in-law. So much has changed since then!

When we were a young family, I would simply call J. C. Penney or Sears, schedule a date, pick out clothing for my sons and husband and off we'd go. The last portrait of this type was the day before our first son got married; then, nothing until the aforementioned. I've come to cherish, in recent years, informal photos at family gatherings but I've longed for a professional portrait and it's high time that we've had one despite the resistant grumblings of the men in our family.

But, oh my, the scheduling of such a venture has become very complicated! My sons have conflicting work schedules and then there are the little one's nap times. What to do? What to do! Perhaps inviting the photographer to our next family day gathering is the only logical answer. We shall see!

Let it be known that I have no "grumblings" about the portrait itself. However, the desired family attire of the matriarch does produce some clamour.
