My brother Isaac came over again today for a couple hours and I was able to take some pictures of him with the boys. Isaac was only 10 when I had Jacob so they are actually closer in age than Isaac and I. Everyone says how much my boys look like their Dad (and they do) but I also think they look like my brothers, too. What do you think?
Since they were already gathered around, I had Isaac take a couple shots with their Mama.
I never dreamed (and I still find it almost hard to believe) that I would end up with five sons!
And they’re all so good looking! 
And here we are again, with sister Grace. (I can’t wait to dress her up for Easter tomorrow!)
Rich wasn’t able to avoid getting his picture taken, either.
It’s so nice to have him home again.
Well, it’s almost 8:00pm but there is still lots to do… I have a baby to wake up and take care of, five other children need to take baths/showers for church tomorrow, I need to get all their clothes organized and set out for church, bedtime snacks…and so on and so forth!
I hope you all have a lovely Easter. It’s a day that is so meaningful for believers. I just love Easter, and meditating on all that Christ has done for me. I can’t wait to be in church tomorrow, singing those wonderful old hymns, and listening to the preached Word with my husband sitting on one side of me and my children on the other.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 God loves you!
Love, Shanda
Good to be Home 
What cute pictures! Amen to the end!
So beautiful. I think your brother definitely looks like your oldest boys especially. Happy Easter to you and yours.
Very sweet pictures, I think Isaac and Amanda have similar features, too. Glad you had a nice visit with him. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Love, Trish
I am also looking forward to church tomorrow. My little guy picked out his first suit to wear, he is so excited, as am I, I must admit.
Have a blessed day!
There’s definitely a family resemblance there! What nice photos… Do have a very happy Easter!
Awww..I think Isaac looks a LOT like your boys & mixed with your husband too. It’s fun to see who they look like ;)Can’t wait to see you in church tomorrow!
I was thinking that after your last post…I think Jacob looks especially like Isaac. I hope you have a lovely Resurrection Sunday! He is risen! He is risen indeed!
Happy Easter Weekend to you! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Enjoy the Holiday!!! 🙂 Hoppy Easter!
They sure are handsome boys you have there. And I love your enthusiasm for sitting with your family on that special day for all believers everywhere ~tomorrow. I love it too!!! Can you EVEN believe what He has done for us ?????!!!!!! 🙂 ♱ ✝ ♱
Well… I guess there is a resemblance in there but really I see their dad in your boys. You have a beauitufl family! Happy Easter!
Wonderful pictures of you all. Your boys are indeed handsome…and do look like your brother! Isn’t it funny how that works, as they look like Dad too? Have a Blessed Easter! A wonderful day celebrating Christ’s resurrection!
Happy Easter! Enjoy your time with family.
Have a blessed Resurrection Day!
Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family.
Was it time for Seth to eat? I love that picture of you and Rich and Seth with his mouth open.
