Family Portrait

This afternoon we are getting a family portrait taken at the Sears Portrait Studio at the Mall of America. This was not the closest location to which we could have gone, but we figured we could walk around the mall a bit afterwards. This was just going to be pictures of Emma, since it is pretty close to her second birthday, but then we decided that we should get a whole family photo taken since we haven't done that since before Emma was born, aside from the photo I took of us myself for our Christmas cards in 2007.

I tried to schedule the appointment so that it would be soon enough before dinner time that Emma isn't distracted by thinking she needs to eat, but still late enough that we do not have to wake her too early from her nap. Last night however, while watching the news, we heard that Joan Rivers is going to be at the Mall of America this afternoon. In fact her appearance began about fifteen minutes ago, so we decided that we had better leave early so we could find a place to park and still get to the portrait studio in time. In fact, someone from the Sears Portrait Studio just called us a little while ago to advise us to arrive early because the mall is getting very crowded.

I think we will probably leave an additional fifteen minuted earlier than we planned. We do not want to get there too early though as Emma could get a bit anxious waiting for our turn.
