An unexpected shot of Aidan

Today is what I'm assuming will be the last nice, warm day that we'll have for several months. It's what my mom always referred to as "Indian Summer". I don't know how PC that term is today, as I haven't heard it used in ages. I took the kids down to our neighborhood park to drink it all in. I really wasn't intent on getting pics of the kids, but was trying to get a pic of myself. (I'll explain this in another post at another time. Ha, ha!) Anyway, the three of us were heading to the wagon when Aidan stops by a tree and says, "Do you want to take a picture, Mommy?" I was a bit shocked! "Well, yes! Of course!" He was even taking direction! The only problem was, I still had to keep my eye on Addie, which was a bit distracting. Anyway, this is what I got.


I'm kicking myself for not getting the light in his eyes and the focus can use some work, but I still really like it. If I had known he would willingly let me take his picture, I would of put something a little nicer on him. Jim says he looks a bit like a rag-a-muffin. Oh, and he's not mad....this is just his GQ tough guy expression. ;o)
