these pictures were taken last wednesday at the picture people in the mall. i thought it was some kind of easter miracle that the little one listened and didn't try to leave the store. but roel was quick to point out that he is growing up and can follow directions just fine. we've had the kids' pictures taken at the picture people before. and yes, it was the first time that i didn't have to wave a toy or say smile as i flashed a smile. roel and i just sat there and watched. and i was crying inside. i think when malia turned 5 and started reading, i realized she was growing up. so yes, i'm still in denial with micah. really, he's still a baby. with a face that round, he has to be. ;)
