So, here it is: the almost annual family photo front and center. We're in the second millenium and yet Mother Dearest insists on using those old school cameras to snap our photos with the timer that gives you barely enough time to run into the photo without looking out of breath. MD is really sweet about the whole thing and she doesn't make us wear matching sweaters but it really is a hassle. This year's photo turned out pretty good so I guess I shouldn't mind. Jason, Jonah and Zoa are actually facing the camera this time, Father and MD look so in love with Thomas in their arms and I'm actually laughing because I had camera duty this time.
MD isn't obsessed with photos as much as she loves all of us. I remember seeing a letter that had said Dana Lendry MD when I was old enough to read names. I had asked MD about it and she had told me: "Why sweetie, that MD means Mother Dearest". I learned later on that MD used to be a doctor when Jonah and Jason were young but she felt like she missed out on a lot of their lives so she chose to be a stay at home mom when I was two.
MD is an amazing mom so I don't mind when she asks that the family photo is at the front of my first scrapbook. Looking at this photo though, I wonder if her and Father's love blinded me to reality. Seriously, their love is a freaking fairly tale. I just assumed all love would be the same. Pretty stupid for someone in the second millenium, huh?
