Guess which one is me? (Throw me a bone and pretend it didn't take you all of a half second to figure it out.)

I'd be mortified by this picture if it wasn't the perfect portrait of a mom of 3 boys.

Taken almost exactly a year ago at a wedding in Los Angeles it illustrates the dressed-up version of my wardrobe — see yesterday's post for more on that disaster.

It had been a long drive to get there, and a long night in the hotel. Keeping track of our kids in the church (let's just say they weren't accustomed to being there) during the ceremony, keeping them from running wild during the reception, and making sure they ate at least a little food was fatiguing to say the least!

Was I saying "What the hell is taking so long, Ansel Adams?" or "Let go of my necklace!" ? I guess that will remain a mystery for the ages. But I do love my little California dudes in their ties-and-Tevas. Of course Chip was wearing a charming baby tuxedo.

Note: bow ties are delicious.
