Portraits

When Alex was smaller, Mummy made use of the Picture People deals that gave away free portraits with no obligation to purchase - perfect for the graduate student family! Well they closed their store before Sebastien was born which meant that he is truly suffering from being a second child. We have one studio shot of him and about ten of Alex. So Mummy ventured to a photo place in Xiamen and used her pigeon mandarin to organise a photo session and the purchase of two portraits. Now she is certain that there are better photos on offer - specifically dressed in the studio's clothing and on sets that look like film sets - so she will try to organise another session later this year. Oh, and the session took place a little over a week after Sebstien had head-butted the concrete gutter edge - there is just the hint of a bruise left. Here are the results we got this time.

Oh my! They have to be the most gorgeous photos ever! Butter wouldn't melt in their mouth. I think there is a hint of a halo somewhere in there.

Alex and Sebastien look adorable. I can't believe how much they've grown over the past year. We miss you all!

Wow! They are both so big!! Miss you guys terribly- Brayden still asks about Alex nearly everyday, and is fascinated by all things China! Absolutely adorable.
