'This year's smile. Captured forever.'

When I picked up school picture proofs from daycare, I thought to myself, "They might want to rethink printing that particular tagline right there on the packaging."

I thought some of the alternate poses might be a little better.

Nope. As our babysitter Anna said, "She looks like she just came from a puppy funeral."

Jakey did give it HIS best shot, though. When they told him to say "cheese," he gave it all he had.

And I have to admit, this one of the two of them together warmed my heart. INTERNET, HER HAND IS ON HIS SLEEVE.

But seriously. Puppy funeral.
