He's a keeper.

But what about his kindergarten photo?
I can almost hear the conversation.
Photographer:  "smile!"
MB: [smiles]
Photographer: "now show me some teeth."
MB: [gives him some teeth action]
Photographer: [click] "next."

We might be doing some retakes... 
but then I remember MY kindergarten photo.
So mothering is also about deciding which captured moments to hold on to.
(Mom?...)

The enthusiasm in BOTH pictures is overwhelming. Wow. ;) I'm LAUGHING actually. I haven't seen that picture of you in forever. Oh mom. She did wonders with our hair. I'd say bag school pictures - they are WAY over priced for an okay job. (we did about 4 years ago)

Very cute--both of them. I have some winners as well, and I don't think I smiled in any of my school pictures. I'll have to check. I think I was very serious.

I love those outfits! Mine was blue, and I am smiling somewhat.

Hey this is a good idea.
Post your picture as you go through school years.

Wait...I wouldn't want to embarrass myself...who am I kidding, I am a pro at that.

But yours is a cute picture.

Awww... the apples usually fall pretty close to the tree dont they?
Hehe...
With all your photo skills, I am surprised you even worry about the school pic.
Or is it just for the yearbook?

CUte... love both.

You have the best retro pictures ever Jen. Can't say that its your best face though. Can't beat the hair. My kids are equally as difficult in front of a camera to photograph.

Looks like "big" hair was not only popular in the 80s but the 60s too! Put a whig on Mason and bam he's your twin.
