Family photos


Yay! We finally got a family photo! Oh we have all kinds of casual shots of everyone separately but here we are...all together in the same house at the same time. It's amazing :)
Yeah, Gus was being a pickle and didn't smile, but that's ok...he's still cute. I just have to say here that I am so happy with who my kids married. All 3 of my " in-laws" are just awesome, and absolutely perfect for their prospective spouses. All completely different, just like my kids are all completely different.
I remember my mom saying " you raise them all the same, and they just turn out differently" All I can say is thank goodness for that! That's what makes our family so wonderful, the unique personalities of everyone. And here's the cool part....if I met any one of my kids on the street today for the first time, I would like every one of them...not because I'm their mom and I HAVE to like them. I would love them for who they are as adults.
Oh, and we finally got a picture of Spence and Barb together, with no one else in the shot. Something we didn't manage to do at their wedding! They're taking off to another country for awhile. I'm happy for their adventure, but I'm going to miss them so much.




Happy Trails you two!! Hope you get a blog set up so you can keep us posted.

Why is it so hard sometimes to get everyone in the same room and take a picture?! That is a great picture!! I hope it won't be too long before you get everyone back into the same room again!

I don't know! Tom's family seems to have tons of those pictures. You guys must get together about once a week:)
