GLAMOUR SHOTS Mexican Style...


We thought we would share with you these beautiful glamour shots of each of us! After viewing these pictures I remarked on the close resemblance of these visa pictures to prison mug shots! So, FYI, these are pictures for our visas and no, we are not in some Mexican jail somewhere!

Last week we get a telephone call from the company's lawyer here in Mexico - he proceeds to share with us that our visas are about to expire and then proceeds to give us a few more items that ended up being quite a LONG list of items we needed to get together for our family's visas in order to legally stay in the country! (This is a process that we have been working on since our arrival in Mexico - yet we had most of our paperwork together.) Among the items that were lacking were some pictures. When we arrived at the photography studio in "El Centro" we were asked to remove all jewlery and then they had water bottles to spray our hair and slick it back. But, we thought you might enjoy the most somber looking pictures of the Ballard Family ever - enjoy! (Despite the somber expressions I still think the kids look absolutely adorable!)
