they have four children of their own,
but a neighbor's grandson is also considered part of their clan.
grandma & grandpa came along to complete the picture.
as the afternoon passed, we talked about how pictures really do tie generations together - those who knew each other and lived together, but more importantly, the generations of grandchildren and great-grandchildren who won't experience each other.
pictures tell stories themselves, but they also remind and inspire us to tell them, to relive the laughter, the hardships, the adventures, and the love.
you know, you've done it, whether you intended to or not.
so you'll fully understand that when i started processing these early this morning, i couldn't help but smile and even laugh out loud at certain points. just imagine the conversations that will take place as children, grandchildren, and great-grand children browse through these!
grandma used to be a professional dancer!
now, she's just busy training for her next heavy weight boxing title :)
and being the family comedian!
looks like they've been paying attention!
and now for some individual shots......
lastly, for mom & dad, trying to squeeze a little romance in with all these kids is sometimes impossible......
...especially when they all yell "EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" if you try and steal a kiss!
no matter the characters or the setting, this family's got a fabulous story! thanks guys for letting me help tell it!
