I will post pictures of NYC tomorrow. I took some pictures of the kids this morning. . . the boys looked so cute in their matching outfits. Rich and I live about 4 1/2 hours away from our parents and most of our siblings (all except for my sister) so our family really enjoys this blog and seeing the pictures of their “babies”.
Jacob, Grace, David, Me, Rich, Caleb, and Ethan
The boys
Sad Boy: Caleb had enough of the nursery on Sunday mornng! He’s so precious w/that “ear holding thing” he does.
Guess how I made Caleb smile and look my way? By holding up his pacifier! He ran just as fast as he could to get it. I almost missed the picture opportunity.
Hope you all had a blessed Sunday. Love, Shan




ADORABLE, the first and last are my favorites.
Shandra,
You have such a precious family. You are incredibly blessed!
What a sweet family!
I loved seeing the boys all in matching outfits today. That first picture of your family is great. I would frame it… even the baby is looking the right way and smiling.
All your children look adorable. Grace is so pretty.
Very cute!!!
Great pictures. You have some very handsome boys and a pretty girl too! She must take after her Momma. 🙂 Wonderful pic of NYC and the troops in the earlier post. My dh had a parade as well, but we didn’t go as it was cold and rainy and the baby has a cold. 😦 Blessings
I’ve seen your blog through the Making It Home blogring. I’m not much of a commenter, but this time I had to! You take amazing photos – especially of your kids. I love the pic of your son doing the “ear holding thing.” My nineteen-month old does the same thing! He sticks two fingers in his mouth and uses his other hand to kind of fold/pinch his ear over. It’s so adorable! I’ve never seen another kiddo do that before!
The matching outfits are so cute. Steve hates it when I call something a male is wearing an outfit! LOL! Did you have the camera on timer and have to run back to be in the picture? It turned out so frame worthy!
I am so glad you went to NYC and am looking forward to seeing it through your eyes!
Awesome pics! What a precious family. Kids are a true blessing from God!
Great pictures. Who did you go to N.Y.C. with? I wish I could have gone too! When will you be at Moms for Thanksgiving? I can’t wait to see all of the kids.
i loved the pics! caleb, grace and david look the most like you!
boy do those boys look like their daddy!
What wonderful pictures! Thank you so much for sharing. You have a beautiful family ~ what a blessing!
I love your family photo Shanda. You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing it. It helps me to know you and your family more. Love,Beverly
I think your family is precious. So, tell me, didn’t you just recently move away? And didn’t you move, as we say in Arkansas and maybe other places, into the boonies?
Your photos are so pretty- you kids are so sweet -looking! Have a great Monday~ Laurel
ADORABLE!!!! Wish I could sit with you for a few minutes and get some photo taking advise!
I just love seeing boys look like boys! Your boys look so handsome in their shirts and ties. Very much “men”. I agree with everyone else, the first pic is frame worthy. Beautiful!
what an adorable little clan you have. They all look so well behaved (lol) 🙂
Love these pictures…like everybody else already said, you have a beautiful family.
What a beautiful family! It makes me want to have lots and lots of kids 🙂 You all look so happy!
it is worth repeating, “your family is precious!!!” Those were excellent pictures!
