it's a funny thing, how being the one taking the pictures means you're never actually in the pictures. well the other day i made it a point to rectify that little situation. i set up the tripod, set the camera to self timer, let penny push the button, and boom... there we all are! i'm going to put a little bit of effort into doing this every so often. as it turns out, i think it's pretty important to have. for all of us!

and that reddish brown lump at the bottom of half the photos? that's barkley. he 100% refused to be completely in, or completely out, of the picture. i kinda love it!
