August Family x 12 blog hop

Welcome everyone to my blog as you join in this month's blog hop organised by Margie. Check out her blog here for more information from June, to see what it is all about and hopefully to get you joining us month by month as we share our 'family' photos.

Hopefully you will have found me via Carol Anne's blog, if not please see the list below so you know where to start and end (or if you get lost!)

I have a real hatred of photos of me and I am very critical of them and tend to delete the majority of snaps that feature my ugly mug! So this monthly photo experience is not easy for me but I think it is really important as I am recording the memory of the four of us as time goes by.





Currently I do not have access to my June Family photo but this is my July photo. Quickly taken on a golf course in Antigua via self timer..... the children were not very amused and wanted to get back to the pool/beach/ anything other than another photo!



Please go over to Patricia's blog here to see her July family portrait.



Hopefully I will have a chance to visit all your blogs again soon xxx

    Great photo Ruth - I love that the kids are just being kids in the photo (no fakey smiles there)! You & hubby look like you're having a good time and it was a beautiful day!

    This is fantastic! This will be loved for years to come it is a great snapshot of how your kids are right now. Your daughter's pose is a classic. I am the same way about pics of myself. In fact, I absolutely hate two of the photos I included this month but I am trying not to let that prevent me from accepting it as part of our family's history. It is still an important memory.

    Love the naturalness (is that a word?) of the photo, you can really tell the children don't want to be there! Hope you're having a fabulous time. x
