I had Ella's three month picture taken at a studio on Monday.

The wrong day to go to Trenton. But that's where the studio is.

It took 45 minutes to drive four miles along Quakerbridge Mall Road because Route 1 traffic was being rerouted due to flooding. Several of the mall stores weren't open when I arrived at 10:30, half an hour late for my appointment.

The photos are washed out, just like the roads. That's the type of work they do at the Picture People. But it's a tradition with all the kids: washed out baby pictures. At six months, we go with a real photographer in the home. Can't wait.
