Family Portrait

Dear Marina,
Tonight we were supposed to take a family portrait because your teacher sent us a note that said you were the only kid in class who did not have one.
This could partly be blamed on me because maybe you haven't realized but I've had two kids in two years and that makes you get all puffy and tired, so I've avoided cameras for a while.
But today we were all set to take one. Then your dad decided to go running at the gym, and guess what? The Red Sox are on and the game is all tied and I know he's just standing on the treadmill, dead tired but not able to move from his spot for fear of jinxing anything.
So when you go to school tomorrow, instead of a picture of me and you and Ella and Daddy, you might as well just take a picture of the 2008 Red Sox team. Make sure you pick one that spotlights JBay or Big Papi, because for the next few weeks, those dudes pretty much are our family.

Maybe she can photoshop your family in to the Red Sox picture. She's two right? I'm sure she's an expert Photoshopper by now and if she's not she's probably the only kid in class who doesn't know how to use Photoshop. You should be worried. :)
