“Mac and cheese!”
I love that the boys know that they’re supposed to say cheese when people take their pictures. I like that they’ve changed it into any variety of cheese based exclamation. I don’t like the way it makes all of our picture look, well, cheesy.
Following is a collection of some pictures that I think turned out well, but without the cheesy grins. In fact, these pictures have no grins at all. I do love to overachieve.

- Isaac performing in the Christmas show.
-
- Gabe, standing.
-
- Sometimes you just end up with a funny look.
-
- Testing the ‘straight down’ feature of the new tripod
-
- Isaac pauses as his brother moves by.
Most of these pictures were taken with the help of my new tripod. The tripod allows me to take pictures without the flash in slightly darker conditions, so long as the kids don’t move. The lack of flash makes the whole process less intrusive. Apparently the “Cheesebuger!” exclamations are somehow tied to the flash, not the camera.
The tripod also makes the whole process extremely interesting to both of the boys. Set low enough, Isaac is able to run the whole operation himself. He can even take pictures of himself if I set the ten second delay.
