Four in Braces

I didn't expect to have four kids in braces at the same time. Tori's on her second round (a good reminder for her sisters to wear their retainers), Maddy and Lauren are almost done and Sarah has just started. Wanted to capture this special sister moment :)

Here's a close up of my fam. I love my life!

Time for Family Pics

Tori was home for Fall break so we decided to take a quick family picture. It was such a beautiful day! We had a lot of fun even though the babies just wanted to run and play. Not easy to get eight people posing at the same time. Thanks to our good friend, Renee', for taking the pics for us! We never could have done it with the timer :) I loved the way Tori added different effects, cropping, etc. to make them look even better.

I'm In!

After some stellar training from my friend Jayne, I'm now an official blogger! Prepare for some adorable pics, clever comments (although not as eloquent as Becca's), or nothing at all. We'll see if this is just "more stress" or a much needed outlet. We'll start with a pic of my crew. Here we are with our six children playing outside during my favorite season. I think my favorite part of being a parent is discovering who my children are as they grow up and develop their personalities. More on that to come...
