Mother's Day Photo: Trying to Capture My Offspring on Film

I realized Sunday that I don't seem to have a single photo of myself with both of my kids. I have loads of photos of Rosie, and photos of Rosie and me (in which I always seem to look awful.) But I have only a handful of photos of Jeremy, my son, and none of the three of us.

So I asked Ken to please take a photo of us when we were at Jeremy's house for lunch on Mother's Day. Jeremy protested.

''I'm not," he said, "the dashing young man I used to be." (He turns..gulp..30 in less than two weeks.)

"I don't care," I insisted, "I want a photo of the three of us together to post online."

So the first time Ken goes to take the picture, Jeremy decides to take a picture of Ken, while Rosie is the very picture of decorum;

And the second time I get a decent picture of Jeremy at last, but look at my girl..

Oh well..at least we all have personality..
