Last Friday we had our family picture taken. Luckily the lady who took our pictures was up to the task of trying to catch all 9 of us smiling at the same time. It worked, some of the time!! Kendra of course was being her usual self and lasted about 3 minutes and then decided that it's much more fun to run around than pose for pictures. We did get some good ones captured and I feel so far ahead of the game since I really wanted the pictures for Christmas cards!
This is my favorite!
Now what are the chances we'd have 9 people in our family and have 9 letters in our last name???

It was no easy task to get Kendra to sit still and actually hold her letter but somehow she captured her at the perfect time.

This one melts my heart! Elijah adores Kendra and this photo just captures that for me.

I really like this one too! When I think back over 22 years ago when we first got married, I would NEVER have thought that we would have 7 children. I never had thought much about adoption either. Now fast forward to my life in 2013 and there is NO way I would want it any different. We have been able to make an eternal difference in the lives of 7 children. That is such a huge responsibility but even a greater blessing. These kids were made for us and they truly are our "Happily Ever After!"
(More photos to come, it's just getting too late for this tired mama!!)
