Manny and the kids

I love how David is holding Jacob's hand in this one.
They are truly "daddy's girls"
This is the last picture that we did and David was done with this picture taking stuff. I really wanted a picture with Manny and all 5 of the kids. I have a frame with a quote on it that this picture is going in. The quote is from General Douglas MacArthur and reads, "By profession, I am a soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father."

Manny and Deon's pictures

Our "Twilight" pose

Sara's pictures

Emily's pictures

Erica's pictures

Jacob and David's pictures

Jacob was wanting to play with all of the sticks. If you know Jacob you know that if he's outside he has a stick in his hand. He has a pile of sticks off to the side waiting for him.
David was not interested in getting his picture taken. There was too much to explore. Poor Amanda just had to run around after him snapping pictures.
We were trying to get his attention and we were playing peek-a-boo with him. This is his peek-a-boo back at us.
Yay!!! This is fun! We had a lot of fun taking these pictures and Amanda did a fantastic job! Thank you again!

Snow Day

I am really behind again, sorry. This is how the month of January started off, with my flowers in full bloom. November and December were so warm that my flowers actually bloomed in January. Emily took this picture of the flowers for me. A couple of weeks later we got a wonderful snow storm. We got about 4-5 inches of snow, which is very rare for where we live. School was cancelled for 2 days, so the kids had so much fun playing in the snow for those two days. We also had a "Harry Potter" movie marathon. I'm not sure who was more excited, Manny or the kids.
