Family Pictures 2011

Forgive me for posting too many pictures {is that even possible?}. This Mama had the hardest time narrowing it down to just a few, so please let me share my favorites with you. We will start with the group shots.

Now... The boys

The Girl-Girl...

Some of just us~

{All because two people fell in LOVE...}

{Ben says it looks like we sent the kids to the time out bench while we smooched on the blanket. Haha}

Thank you, Chani, for so beautifully capturing this time in our lives for us to look back on and remember. We truly have so much to be grateful for, and I am.

2011/2012 School Year

K-5

Our official school year starts in full tomorrow morning. In addition to the basics taught at home {by yours truly}, the kids attend a co-op once a week for Science and American History. The big boys will continue taking cello lessons and begin a Spanish class next week. All four of the kids will play soccer this fall and participate in AWANA. Whew! I'll be one busy mommy, *but I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing, so bring it on! 

Yes, these pictures are from our family photo shoot, and I'm anxious to share the rest with you. Check back later this week. Until then, I'll give you a sneak peek at my favorite family shot. Since I like ya:)

Awww! Thank you Chani for making us look lovely and put together.

*Unfortunately, laying on the beach all day is not really an option:(
