It never fails. You gather everyone. Ask them to be on their best behavior. Then you snap the picture. There is always one in a family portrait.
A chance like this doesn’t present itself very often. Everyone together and behaving. No siblings poking at each other or instigating games. You whip out the phone, ask them to look at the camera, and take the photo before things fall apart. Only later do you discover the first ruleāthere is always one in a family portrait.
P.S. – And, yes, there might have been treats involved.
For those new to our world, that would be His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey in the front left and his bestest brother (with the silly grin and eyes closed) Roscoe P. The happy smile in the back row comes from Landon (Boom Boom) and the upper right corner is Frankie Suave.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

His books pay for our food!
Gotta love that Rosco!!
Love this picture of your boys!! Actually the fact you only had to bribe the Prince is huge!! At least you didnāt have to bribe all 4 of them. Great picture even if Roscoe P has closed his eyes. ???
just LOVE your Family!!! XOXO
Such lovable faces. (Couldn’t help thinking what the cue was to get the all eyes up at once.)
Ah precious ! Sweet Roscoe! I would have expected the Boom to be the disrupter ?
four beautiful faces, love this pic
Roscoe only makes the picture better with his silly expression! I also agree it is one to cherish.
A beautiful family! You need some red heads and some girls to fill up the pack. ?
HU-Dad even IF the photo shows ONE of the herd with eyes closed-it IS a cherished memory as Tonya Rogers said!!!!!
Beautiful picture! One to cherish for years to comeā¤ļø
