Spencer and Sho came for a little visit this past weekend. They surprised the girls by ringing the doorbell and leaving their stuffed Monkey (whom Mia requests at every visit) and a trail of candy that led them around the house and back inside where they were waiting on the couch. We love to hang out with them. They drove up from DC and played for a day and a half before traveling all the way home to be responsible adults again. One of my favorite things about Spo (that's their relationship name...you know, like Brangelina...) besides their delicious cooking (they cooked both nights they were here!) and their absolute adoration of my children, is their photography skills. They got the skills. And now they have a business. But I get it for free because we're related and they think my kids are cute.
I found out three [not so] important things about myself this weekend:
My daughters are photogenic and beautiful.
I am capable of making only one face (I would never make it on America's Next Top Model)
and I have bad skin...I might need to request some photo touch ups.
Make that four things: I like other people to cook for me.
Here are some of the different shoots they did this weekend...
Sho is not only gorgeous and very very kind and funny and awesome...but totally a natural in front of the camera.Hazel is about to be ONE so we had to capture that too.
This one is for my sailor.
Don't be fooled by all the pictures of me...he just hasn't put up more of the kids yet. There are lots. You just can't get enough of them. At least I can't.
Come back, won't you?

SOOOOOOOO CUUUTTEEE!!!! and that one of you jumping is so cool! how do you jump that high?? hazel is soooo stinkin cute!! and abby and haley are just looking so old! hehe! :)
I apologize to all...I think I should have said "who" instead of "whom". Don't grammatical errors in people's blogs just drive you batty?
May I please borrow Spo? For a weekend? Not only do I need someone to cook great food for me but my kids are in desperate need of a photo shoot. Plus, the last real family photo we have is sans #3. If they're ever in my general area...
The photos are amazing! I love that one for your sailor. It's my favorite.
Spencer & Sho are that cool aunt and uncle that everybody wants. Glad you guys are all close enough to enjoy each other. They need to head towards the midwest and do some photo shoots here.
Looks like so much fun, I love the jumping picture...so cool!

Man those are beautiful pictures. I wish I had that kind of talent. What fun.
Sorry, but you are very photogenic too. Where do you think your girls get it?
I love the pictures. I can't believe Hazel is almost ONE!!
WHY do we live so far away again?
I want someone fun and interesting that enjoys me and my kids to leave a candy trail at MY door.
(Me, me, ME! I'm like the spoiled girl on Willy Wonka.)
I love that they did that.
Would it apall.. wait.. 'appall'.. or 'appal'-- any of the people involved that not only can I not SPELL it.. but that we've never had a professional family shot taken? (Don't feel sad for us. We have a lot of other nice things in life. Like running water.) It's late-- I fear I may be rambling...
One of my wife's fears is that our own children will not be as beautiful and fun as our nieces and nephews. Thanks for the wonderful weekend! Let's do it again soon!
Amazing pictures!
Are you kidding me? I have never seen an ugly Asian baby...on the other hand...there are lots of ugly Caucasian babies. But our nieces and nephews are pretty dang cute.
Those are some great photos. You should come to church next week with your tie and purple makeup.
I can hardly believe that is the same baby as the skinny little thing that came home to my house a year ago. She has turned into a Scharman beauty, like the rest! Spo--will you come and take some good graduation shots in April?
I had no idea it was summer already at your house. Or does Hazel think if she has a lot of skin showing you'll drool on her more?
Really fun shots! I'm jealous. I wish my brother would pop in for a weekend. Well, a month really. I love the trail around the house to find them on the couch. What a fun Auncle Spo is so fun!
I forgot to say, that bday picture of Hazel is HILARIOUS!
You are drop dead gorgeous!! I mean we always knew that..but these pictures are adorable! We miss you guys!
I'm so jealous you get Spo and candy trails and dinner and great pictures. Not fair. Just not fair. But I'll try to be happy for your amazing good fortune. And truly...either team Spo are not capable of taking bad pictures or your family is really beautiful!
Let me know when Spo wants to come to Spain. We could use some skills here. Apparently, one does not have to be leaning over whistling to drool. Those pudgy thighs, adoring eyes, and big smile are enough to create a puddle in front of anyone. Oh, she is so yummy. Love all the pics. So great that you have pics of yourself, If I died I'm not sure there's proof I ever existed -well after the wedding.
wow--checkout that eye makeup. where is sho from? where your parents will go? I would LOVE someone to come to my house and cook some good food. they even stuffed all their photog gear in their car for the trip, too. nice. i wanna visit.....
