We Tried

Have you ever attempted to dress six one-year old babies in similar clothing and then try to take their photo? What an adventure. It took four of us trying to get them in position and then running out of the way so that only the babies were in the photo. I think I took about 25 pictures and not one single photo came out the way we were hoping.
But we had a good time trying. Justice, who had gone to the clinic earlier that morning tested positive for malaria, so he was in no mood for a photo shoot. Diamond and Moses chose to stand and run around rather than sitting and posing for the camera. Zoe just wanted to play in the sand along with Joan and Maria.
After it was all said and done we had a lot of laughs and not one single picture where all the babies were looking at the camera and smiling. I sure do love digital cameras. They make taking pictures a lot of fun. I tried and tried…25 snap-shots in all.

We tried this once before when a doctor from the U.S. gave us some t-shirts for the babies. We lined them up in their new shirts to take a “thank you” picture for the doctor. Out of the six babies only four made it in the photo and out of the four two made eye contact with the camera…gotta love those babies!!!
