another celebration
Hey there…I thought I would check in and share photos from a fun weekend we had in Michigan. These photos are especially for family that could not make it to the wedding celebration of Peter and Amanda.

The shot above is with my husband and his 6 siblings with their spouses and kids. A big crowd, huh? It was fun having all of our digital cameras lined up and allowing onlookers to shoot away. No painful standing still poses!

It was so nice to meet new nieces and see how much all the other kids have grown. It is quite the event when we are all together. Most of Nathan’s family live on the West Coast and they all trekked out to the midwest for a short time of togetherness. The last time we saw most of his family, Penny was 8 months and the couple with the newborn (in the photo) was getting married!

All of my kids were in heaven. 13 kids in all- 12 of them under the age of 8.

Another shot of the 7 kids. For some reason this does not look like a lot of kids. Maybe it’s because I feel I know them each individually and to see them together makes sense. Or maybe it’s because they aren’t squirming, high energy kids wanting to get out of the photo!
