...being in front of the camera but there's certain photos of the kids and i that i so long to have. my friends know what those shots are as i'm often begging them to photograph us. today, stephanie beaty (my friend and photographer) and i got together to play a little and she got this photo of the little ones and i, which i absolutely adore. kiele, my oldest, isn't in the photo b/c she was in school when we did this.

thanks steph...so very much...for taking the time to photograph us. and of course, thanks for being such a great friend (and publicist :-)
