Passports

In October we will be going to New Zealand for 2 months. Lane has the opportunity to work over there for his elective months. They pay for his flight, car and apartment. It's a pretty sweet deal and since the housing is taken care of, we decided to bring the whole family. To prepare for this, we had to get the kids' passports. It's so funny to think of children this age having a passport. By the time we actually leave, Elliot will still look like her picture, Davis will look a little different but you can probably still tell, and Perry with look absolutely nothing like her picture! Hopefully that won't cause any problems. 

Anyway, I just had to post them because they're pretty ridiculous looking. Elliot's is decent, but it took the lady forever to take the shot, so her smile had worn off by then. Oh Davis...his face captures his personality at this stage...one big mess! And poor Perry doesn't even look like herself in this shot. And to think these last for 5 years. Chances are this will be the only time they will use them. By then Elliot will be 8, Davis 6 & Perry 5 and they FOR SURE won't look like their photos.

How awesome and very exciting!

Also, I love the kiddos pictures. We would love to take Eli on a big trip, but between the house we're building and me being in grad school, I don't really see that happening until next year (after I graduate) at the earliest.

Will they take Perry's picture with it being so light? I remember taking infant passport pictures were really hard.
