Look at this picture very closely. You'll notice that one of the children is cross-eyed. There's a great story behind it. When we got these pictures taken, I thought it would be funny to cross my eyes right before the photographer had us say "cheese" for each shot. We got the pictures back weeks later and every shot had me cross-eyed. We ended up stuck with them, but they make a great family story.
This is one of those pictures that we asked my parents, "What were you thinking?" today. My brother Dan has always had a sort of God-complex as the oldest brother (he believed most of the time that he was our father with all of the privileges vested in that position). Apparently when the photographer suggested they take a pictures of Dan hovering overhead like God, my parents thought it was a great idea and went with it. Again, it makes for a great story.

David, I remember so well how upset your mom was when they got the pictures back when you did that. As I remember, there were some that were worse then this one! This is so funny, you are right, a great memory.
