2012 Family Pictures (LONG post!)

Hi! Its been awhile. :( Back in June, we had family pictures done by Kanella Brown Photography. WOW- they turned out great! Thanks, Kanella! The location was great for our pics- this old barn & field were beautiful!

Enjoy these pics- I've been eager to share! There's a lot of photos here- some of you will enjoy it, some of you will get bored. :) Hopefully soon I'll get around to changing the look of our blog using some of these pictures. Hopefully soon I'll get some printed to hang up in our home & give out. Hopefully soon life will slow down soon! ;)

I'm thinking one of these for the top of the blog:


This could have been a good one but Emily's looking the wrong way:

If only Matthias & Jonathan weren't standing so weird! Oh, boys:

How blessed I feel to be this little girl's mama (and all my other children's mama):


Smooch that adorable face! Seriously- those cheeks are scrumptious:




These are my favorite family shots:






We joked that Kanella was putting Eric and I through couple's therapy because she had us looking into each others eyes, kissing, resting on each other's shoulders... All while littles scrambled in every direction. :) It was funny & really hard not to laugh. All this picture taking was a lot of work:


Okay, enough family pics! How about some of the children together (The first one is my favorite. At times I had to say "Just open your eyes & smile NORMALLY!" Ugh! Does anyone else have this issue?):



The girls:



The boys:


Now for individual shots. First, Emily- age: 7 months. Simply adorable:

Abigail- age 2 years 9 months:



Elizabeth- age 4 1/2 years:



Jonathan- age 6:


Matthias- age 8:



Benjamin- age 10:


Patricia- age 11 but oh, so close to 12:

Heather! You're family is beautiful! You look great! I love the pictures of your girls. They are so adorable. It's fun having some unique family portraits done. Special memories.

I was just thinking of you yesterday wondering how you are doing. Take care.
