It's almost impossible to get a decent picture of my father-in-law. Anytime the camera is aimed in his direction, he puts on a goofy face. Shortly after the death of both of my parent's, I told him one day, "We are going to have a really hard time finding an appropriate photo for your obituary!" Though the comment took him by surprise, it didn't change a thing.
I reminded him of it again when they were down recently to help us the week of Megyn's birth. And again, he was uncooperative.
Last night, we met them at Culver's in Greenfield, not far from where they are working at their General Youth Camp. I was snapping pictures of him with Megyn while he was chatting with Tony. I kept getting terrible expressions (not his fault for once) and asked him if he would please give me a pleasant face. Somehow I got this expression and was totally shocked.
So shocked in fact, that my next comment was, "Hey! I think we might be able to use this one for your obituary!"
He has decided not to eat my cooking anymore :)

:) This post made me smile... not a surprise at all that you can't get a decent face... I've seen some of the crazy ones he can make. :)
Wow, I think you just might have seen a miracle:) I don't think I've ever seen him serious. Good picture.
Is he afraid you are going to "Poison" him now that you have a decent picture???
