Herding Cats (or in this case, Chicks)

I have not yet perfected the skill to take a decent photo of both of my girls together. The wiggle and move and create the goofiest expressions whenever I take the camera out.

I think I understand one of the reasons why my parents -- with 6 kids -- rarely took family photographs that contained all of us when we were little. If I'm having this much trouble with 2 girls -- imagine what getting a photo of 6 kids must have been like.

Well, here are some photos from the last 2 nights to prove my point:

I either get one who disappears from frame as soon as I hit the shutter.

Or one is moving

Or both are moving

Or someone has an odd expression

Or someone isn’t looking at the camera

I’m going to have to take lots more pictures to get any that eventually become “keepers.” This is the best from the lot.

Thank God for the invention of the digital camera.
