Family Picture

It has now been 4 years since we have been a family of 8. It is really heard to believe - it went so fast! For a long time we were "waiting" for things to be "normal" and then one day I think we realized that THIS was our new normal....anyway...

We still have not had a "formal" family picture taken (shame on us) but it seems like we get around to at least taking a group shot every Fourth of July. Have I ever mentioned how hard it is to get all six of them looking at the camera and smiling (a real smile that is) at the same time? Other than the 20 pounds I'm always going to lose before taking a picture...this one actually turned out pretty good....almost. I won't mention any names...


Oh well. Looks like we will settle for this one: (not all real smiles, but at least we can see the faces.)

There is always next year...
