Family Pictures Nov 2014

So I know I haven't updated this blog in over a year, but I have good reason!  That reason no longer exists so hopefully we get back to at least quarterly =)  But I thought I should start by updating our family pictures.  We took them at the very beginning of November 2014.  Originally they were scheduled for October - the colors were SO pretty this year - but the very morning of our photo shoot, I pinched a nerve in my back and quite literally, sat on the couch the next two days.  Aside from being humbling and quite painful, we missed the colors.  I was bummed.  However, my friend Melissa did such an amazing job it basically made up for no colors.  Don't be deceived, we don't really look like models -- we just happen to in these.  In following posts, you'll see how I really am looking these days.  Of course, the boys are always beautiful, so their representation is very legitimate.  I definitely get the better end of the deal -- I get to look at them all day long.  And they...love me for me =)

I get asked fairly regularly if they are twins -- and I've figured out that it is when they are sitting down together and you can't see the height difference because here it is pretty clear.

 This is one of my all-time favorite pictures -- these boys are so delicious and Jon Jon really does laugh much of the time!

I love this picture -- James really is a very loving, protective brother.

This was our Christmas card pick
