Manny and Deon plus 6

Deon and the kids

We had our family pictures taken by a very talented friend of mine, Amanda. I will be posting our actual family pictures later, but I'm running out of time right now before I have to go get the kiddos from school. I am having a very difficult time choosing which ones to develop and hang on the wall. Beware of the picture overload that is to follow, but I need your help.

Me and my girls!

I think this picture is hilarious. It shows the personalities of the boys so much. Jacob is watching the other kids running around playing. He's probably thinking, "why do I have to be stuck here when I could be over there playing and will he ever stop crying so we can take this picture already!" David is just like the rest of our kids and would live outside if he could. He finally gets to play outside and explore this very interesting new place and you are going to make me sit why?!?!?

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."

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.
