My family

Grandma came to visit, which, though it leaves a gaping when she leaves, has its perks, not the least of which are pictures. While my girls continue to talk as if Grandma hung the moon, invented unicorns and conceived Yo Gabba Gabba, we have a rich bounty of photos.

An excerpt from a front stoop photo shoot. I am delighted soul-deep by how it perfectly captures the essence of my life.











Love you, mom. Thank you.

That last picture is my favorite. Smiles all around and Fin's belly to top it off.

The 5th one down is my favorite - could be a Christmas card!

Hooray for Grandma! We have one just like that, too. :)
You have the most beautiful family, Mama, though I know you already know that! Those photos were perfect.

BetteJo said...

Oh my gosh what a little pistol that Avery is! She made me laugh in almost every pic!
The first one - Briar looks SO big - and such an angel!
My favorite? 2nd to last.
But all wonderful memories!

We are blessed, indeed. ANd can I just say, that while we still need to repaint the newly (this summer) constructed railings (yay! Sean!) the corn decorations were planted by the girls and me and their autumnal function was conceived by Sean.
My favorite pic may be the shoe-tying, child-running-away one.

Thank you for posting these - Mom showed them to me after the trip and I've been wanting copies of them ever since! I have a wonderful family pic of you guys on my wall, but it's from before Finley was born (!), which just makes it tragically outdated, nice as it is on its own. So, yeah, I'm stoked to finally have something of all five of you! Yay!!! I love the fall/harvest-y harvestness of it too. Fall is so friggin' awesome and beautiful!

I love you guys very much. Thank you for being all that you are.

love,
abs
