The time has come! A very sad time. Time to retire the blog banner. It makes me very sad indeed, as it is very possibly my favorite family picture ever taken. It will be blown up huge and hung somewhere in my house. But alas, it is two years old.
It could never be recreated because it was a total accident, you see. Everyone had given up and walked away, then suddenly reappeared with funny hats and it just happened. Perfection in my mind (all except for the fact that you can't see Hazel's actual face, just the raw emotion she felt about the hat on her head.)
I knew that it would have to be replaced with something that I loved just as much...I think little bro Spencer (of Oscarson Photography) was up to the task. And now, I can't decide.
Cast your vote and tell me what you think should be the next Concrete Sequential Blog Banner in

LOVE them both!
I think the mustaches win though. Can't wait to see you all!
Hey Emma, I love your blog! (I'm a friend of Maleen Crazier) I think the mustaches are the winner.
I like the mustaches one!
I love option number 1 !! I think that is such a fantastic photo! The mustaches are cute too...but if I had to vote, I would go with number 1.
I like them both. Great photography. Great models. Mustaches get my final vote.
Love the mustaches... :)
Oh, number 2!!! Number 2.
I can't choose. I think you should make them slide across, one after the other. They're both so fun!
I choose the 1st one, but I love them both!!
#2! LOVE it!!
#1 just to mix things up. but love 'em both. ps you're spoiled. thank you.
I love them both. I think #2 is too similar so your current one - which I LOVE also. So my vote goes to #1
I vote for the current one. Otherwise, I don't know if I can choose. I'm partial to #2 because it looks like the current one but I'm not sure Abby's right there in the moment. I really like the concept of #1 and the faces are great except that I have this weird irrational desire to see the faces behind the pictures. I feel like I'm missing out on something even though I'm not. I guess that would make my overall choice go to #2 but I am sad to see the current one go. Unintentional perfection is impossible to intentionally replicate.
Love both...but 1st is my favorite. Made me smile!!
I KNOW! That's like the best family picture ever. :) I also laugh every time I go to Sarah's blog:) So hilar. Was that spencer and sho handiwork as well??
These are both great options. You can't go wrong. But I think if I was pressed to choose, I might choose the first one because the second one has the same feel as the banner you have up now.
Okay, as I typed that i changed my mind back and forth like three times. Good luck choosing!
I can't vote... I love both too much. Can I just ask a question though? How is everyone in your family so creative? We need a good idea for a Christmas card picture this year, maybe I'll call Spencer and see if he can do some handiwork for us.
I actually gasped out loud in lament when I first starting reading your blog post cuz I thought you were giving up your blog!
With that said:
Number 1 for sure.
I agree the second one is funny but too much like your current one. And the first one is so clever.
Good luck on not driving your family nuts asking their opinion which one to choose.
Cheers
Number one!!
How can you expect us to decide which one? They are both great! I vote for the 1st one. No.....wait... the 2nd...... okay maybe I changed back again...#1.
Holy Can of worms. Good luck choosing now with all these comments. See, I won't even choose, so that won't be one more person you feel like you might have let down in a tiny way when you don't pick the one they chose.
Although I will say they are both fabulous. But it hard to lose with a good looking family like that.
Man I need some family photos done. Where is Spo when I need them?
Oh em, you can't loose, you lucky little devil.
ps. I love the new haircut!
I say you alternate them every other day for my viewing pleasure.
The mustaches are awesome, but I love the originality of the first one. I've never seen that before. So fun!
Wow, you're so popular. Popular enough to have a vote on you blog. :) #1 is my vote. So creative and Emily-esque. And I agree, I love your old one, so funny.
I hate to see the old one go...it is a true classic! If it has to go I vote for the mustache pic--you can see your faces better and it is still very funny and creative.
The old one makes my day every time I see it! But if you HAVE to change it, I vote fr #1.
Is any of this helpful? It seems to be a split vote. I say number 1. I love the mustaches, but 1 makes a better banner.
Loves.
Hi! Im a friend of Clark's from USNA. I love the blog and love option #1. We have 3 kids 4 and under and have another on the way due in Jan. ( we are totally done, or rather, I'm done - ha!). Congrats on numero five!
I don't do well with change. But I'll adapt...slowly.
