I love the photo of the sad little boy in the birthday hat! It certainly brought a smile to my face.

Oh gosh seeing this reminds me I forgot to put my post up! Yikes, right on it... I always like to see happy faces when there is good food around!

Beaming here in Western Kentucky! Great choices... (I have still been on clean up duty from yesterday's feast - must go post this minute! Chef E made me feel better!)
ReplyDeletehugs

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and we will be back to see those bright eyed and bushy tailed NJ faces! Thanks for stopping in! =D
Patience,
ReplyDeleteThanks for beaming in! We'll be back to visit you too! After all, we have patience! =D
I smiled from beginning to end. A great interpretation of smiles, adding the quotes. The Dickerson quote is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteQMM
Those smiles and quotes worked so well together it's hard to imagine which came first. I love the last two!
ReplyDeleteQMM
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and leaving such supportive comments! Happy Birthday to you!!! ((HUGS)) =D
Pauline,
ReplyDeleteOur grandson is so photogenic. He wears his heart on his sleeve! Thanks for coming around today and leaving a little kindness. It's appreciated so much!! =D
These photos are really precious. It makes me see how important smiles are. I certainly do not smile enough and have been caught with a 'frown' (unknown to me) on my face.
ReplyDeleteI love the last one best!
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful pictures, and it's a great idea to pool your resources. Yes, two heads are better than one (unless you're a Pushmi-pullyu).
ReplyDeleteTabor,
ReplyDeleteYour photography brings a smile to everyone's face. Beautiful pictures! Thanks for visiting on this busy weekend. Hope you're having time with the little ones. They'll get you smiling! =D
Jama,
ReplyDeleteA piece of chocolate cake that big would put a smile on anyone's face!!!! YUM! Thanks for stopping by today! =D
Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by and leaving such kind comments. The shared sight is working with us instead of against us. That's a good thing. There is less pushing and pulling now. =D
I have decided to continue...just can't stay away. It's as though the shoot outs have become a part of me :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful smiles and sweetest faces! Blessings to the both of you ♥
Very clever post with all the quotes. You really gave this some thought.
ReplyDeleteI like Lindsay's pose. I love it. Perfect couples' smile- Barry & Linda. And that last photo makes me smile until now.
ReplyDeleteFor reasons known only to her, Lindsay always crosses her legs when she lies on the floor.
ReplyDeleteI can only guess she finds it more comfortable--or she's copying us.
Wonderful photos, Linda! I love the Count in his cape, and the little boy who'd rather have a cake to eat, not to wear!
ReplyDeleteBon weekend!
Hi Linda and Barry
ReplyDeletelove all your pictures
Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available. ~Jim Beggs
ReplyDeleteI like this quote and the photo the best.... next to you an Linda smiling so sweetly.
Very lovely family. The second photo is BEST!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family photos!
ReplyDeleteLinda, both you and Barry always make me think and almost always make me smile or laugh. Hope you both have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYou do have quite a collection of nice photographs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to my blog and commenting.
I love the idea of matching the quotes with your photos...what a great idea :) I love the little vampire!
