Yes...I broke down. We took him to the mall for photos today. He wasn't so sure he liked the idea but we did manage to get a couple of nice shots. Of course Grandma was there to help pick out which shots to purchase. No shock...we bought them all. I have heard from other folks that the first time you get pictures taken professionally, you tend to go slightly overboard. They obviously never met my mother. We take the anchor with us.
