Annual Family Photo

Well, it’s that time of year again.  The time of year when we are supposed to show everyone how much the kids have changed … and how much we haven’t?  But all in all, it’s a good thing to get the family together for a photo to mark where everyone is in this December of 2013.  Here’s the “official one”:


From the Left: Robyn (4), Emma (7), Hazel (10 mo.), Lynna, Henry (2), Matt, Luke (8) and Ruth (5)

And here are some of my other favorites:


(Matt was trying to get the lighting and camera settings right, so we were not exactly posed and mostly not looking at the camera … which resulted in a shot that, for most of us, looks much more like our “regular” selves!)


Luke and the Ladies (well, some of them)

And finally …


The One Who was Responsible for Ending the Photo Session

I didn’t notice until I was cropping the pictures that she still has that faint little crusty white patch on her head from where yogurt-mouth Henry gave her a kiss!  Oh well.  History has been truly and accurately documented!
