*SUMMER POST AGREEMENT:  The quality of the Smith family photos must not serve as any sort of deterrent for the rest of us.  (Smile.  Wink.)  Let us note, yet again, that this talented mom, Melinda, is a professional photographer.  Revel in the awesomeness, but let's agree that our own photos need not be this amazing in order to be blog-worthy.
