We took this picture yesterday w/the self timer on my camera. It’s only one of many that we took. The flash would go off and we would all stampede to the camera to see how it turned out. It was so funny.
I am busy this morning with packing. Tomorrow Rich and I (with Caleb) are leaving for our trip. We’ll be back on Wednesday.
I am so tired this morning. Caleb is asleep right now so I think I’m going to go rest while I have the chance.
Good to be Home 
Seeing you all together is so much fun! I’ve been meaning to ask you if you deliberately named them all with 5 letter names? I hope you enjoy your trip.
That is a really great question, I never even thought of that! I sat here counting all the letters! LOL!
Love this picture Shanda! I love the blue that some of the boys are wearing, the fact that it isd in focus and five out of the six people are looking at the camera ans smiling is really a miracle!!
This is a great picture of you with your brood. You are going to have so much fun with that camera. I can’t wait to see all the pictures you come back with from Texas. Have a good, relaxing trip.
Are digital cameras fun? I find I end up taking so many more pictures because I am not worried about wasting film. Have a wonderful time on your trip and bring some warm weather back with you!
About the 5 letter names. We did NOT do it deliberately with the first 4 babies, but by the time Caleb came along we decided to go along with the trend. 🙂
Shanda this is an old post of yours so I don’t even know if you will see this commnet but I just wanted to say I’m so glad I started going through your archives!! It seems your days of old were such busier times for you and well………….it makes me feel better about my real crazy time right now with a new little baby!!!! All your newer posts are so peaceful and I love that about your blog….it’s just that well……….it’s good to see that there were busier times as well!!!
Wow! Lets see here, Dave currently looks like Jake does in this picture, which means that Dave will look like Jake when he is older. Ethan changed quite a bit, and Grace looks completely different. But you look the same! Its incredible to see how much they have grown up, I wish that my mom had kept a blog and taken lots of pictures of us when we were little. That would be awesome to look back and see what we did and what we looked like!
