More pics

I guess I've opened up the floodgates because now I want to post more pictures. :-)

We had pictures taken at the mall yesterday. I scanned in some of them because I'm into breaking the law. Then, I'm so lame that I took a picture of some framed pictures. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Here is a trilogy of the whole gaggle of dorks:


And here are a couple of the kids:


I honestly got misty when I saw the family photo. All my life I dreamed of taking a family photo. Of course I imagined myself considerably thinner, but I'm working on it. I just cannot believe that I am the person in that picture of the happy family with 2 kids. I've avoided writing the post about how EVERY SINGLE DAY I feel like I've won the freakin' lottery. Each time I try to write, it disintegrates into a sniveling, rambling mush of gobbledygook. So I probably won't be writing it.

But suffice it to say that the level of bliss and the feeling of gratitude I'm enjoying lately is beyond comprehension. Don't get me wrong -- Liam isn't sleeping for jack shit and Megan is so obnoxious sometimes that I told her yesterday she was going to win the Most Annoying Person Ever award. Nice thing to say to your 4 year old, eh? But even with the daily trials and tribulations, I never, ever, ever, ever take for granted one moment of the day. I'm lucky beyond the luckiest lucky sap ever created.

Enough gushing. Thank you a zillion times over for supporting me on this journey. 'Nuff said.

Lovely pics my dear. Lots of gorgeous, smiling faces.

I feel almost like that, but until TP arrives safe and sound (please g-d) am a bit contained in my excitement.

I'm really, truly happy for you. xx

You all look fantastic.

your children are just so darn adorable. (Can she win the most darn cute and obnoxious ever award? My sister already has taken the most obnoxious ever award)

The family picture looks fantastic. I REALLy need to get my butt in gear and take some. I have said for weeks that I am going to go get photos taken. I just never know when to go at the "happiest time"

Go ahead! Break the law! They don't own your family's cuteness!

Great, great pics =)

I think you all look fantastic!! I'm so happy for you. I think you're the only one left reading my blog and I do appreciate it! I'm hoping to take a family photo some day after I have this baby...now I'm inspired :)

Delenn said...

Wonderful pictures. We got something similar (the kids on both sides of us, etc). And yes, I know exactly how you feel--trials, tribulations, annoyances--but so very grateful and happy!

You have some beautiful kids, there!

How freaking cute are your kids???? So, so sweet...

All I said was that I wore a belt- I didn't say that I looked good ;)

Kami said...

Cute! In the past I couldn't have looked at a post like this. I'm glad I can now.

I love your family pic! Well worth the wait :-)

Rho said...

Those pics are crazy cute! Would it be totally psycho if I just cut out yours and Kevin's heads and sub in Stew and I?? I mean, we are both short and sexy. You know I am green with envy, but I love the pics and you guys!

Ashley said...

Your kids are so beautiful! :] I love the family pictures. We had ours taken this past Saturday. I remember when I thought I would never get to take family pics.

Thank you for the comment to check up on us. Wyatt is doing absolutely wonderful! I have been working in a post for some time now ,but have yet to publish it. I will be getting around to it soon. I have just been in a WEIRD place.
