4th of July Photo Flop

I was excited about getting a good 4th of July picture of my kiddos. I went out and bought all of them patriotic clothing--a tremendous waste of money. I had about 15 seconds of battery left on my camera, plus Dru just could not bring herself to smile like a normal person, and Belle couldn't keep her mind on the picture-taking process long enough to keep from looking off into the distance. All in all it was a disaster. These are the only two pictures worth posting. They're still beautiful... difficult, but beautiful.
