Family - Extended

As promised here are a few more pictures from our family portrait day during our family reunion. These are the individual family shots we took. Imagaine 32 people in near 100 degree heat all trying to stay looking nice for their moments infront of the camera. Oh, and not to mention keeping the 18 children camera ready until it was their turn. We had to work fast, and much of the park was a muddy mess so we limited ourselves to one small portion of the park.  Thankfully I had help, one of my brothers is also a photographer. He set up poses in one place then I'd take the families to the next. While I was with that family he'd set up the next and I'd run back and forth. It was a challenge, and I was exhausted once we were through.

So here are my siblings and their families in birth order...

First my sister Jeri. Even though we're 11 years apart I still have a very close relationship with her.

Her and her husband, Brian, have such a fun family. Each of her kids are so smart, sharp and funny.

Its obvious where they got it from.

Then my brother big Rob. He is someone I feel I can always call if I were in trouble.

(Thankfully I've never had to cash in that call.)

He and Holly have such a great bunch. I wish we were closer so we could be together more often.

And then there is another brother, Jeff.Jeff has always been so much fun. He makes everyone laugh.

And his wife, Robin, feels like she's always been a sister. Maybe its because they started dating when I was 8. Their kids are so great, they have the best of their parents in them.

Next comes my brother Mike. Mike's laugh is infectious. And he has so much energy, and such an intense love for family. He and Meredith have some beautiful kids don't they? And their last 3 are the same age as mine...why can't we live closer so they can play together?

Brother #4 = Steve. Fellow photographer and an all around sweet guy.

He has an equally sweet wife, and those boys...oh they are so cute!

Lastly, I am the baby of the family.

What can I say, I think I have a great hubby and awesome kids...

even if Ethan HAD to have a sucker to stay in the picture.
