Photo by Nathan

Nathan is becoming quite a technophile lately--he takes after his daddy--and frequently weasels the camera or laptop away from me, then surprises me with what he can do with it. This photo of Rachel is one of the cutest ones I've seen in a while--it really captures her natural expression. Maybe it's because she was smiling at her brother, or maybe she didn't realize he was really taking a photo, but she really looks like herself. I thought of cropping out his finger and my chin, but then I thought that just drives home who took this photo. (Just so you don't go thinking he is all child-prodigy or visionary or something, I will tell you about a video he took once when he got the camera and I was upstairs. It is a wobbly tour of the living room, then a glimpse of my legs coming down the stairs, followed by a long look at the ceiling while he put the camera down so I won't catch him. It ends with my hand getting the camera. Rachel and have laughed long and hard at that one!)
