He ain't heavy, he's my brother






Greatest gift my parents gave me...my sisters and brothers. I hope to find the magic glue they used to bind us together. The love I have for them is immense, territorial, and unconditional. The joy that comes when I see this same budding relationship amongst my own children is incredible. It helps remind me that this work, this job I've chosen, is pretty important. Pretty important to me.

I love it! Random favorite part - the big bruise on the center of her forehead :)

haha...natalie! You should see Zach, he has a matching one, wonder how that happened!

Maybe the title should have been, "He ain't heavy, He's just got a head in the 90th percentile."

Those pictures are keepers - for sure! Did Roman enjoy his sucker?

If you find that glue, let me know. Since school let out, we (the girls more specifically) are still getting used to eachother. I know they love eachother but we're working on liking eachother. The thought that they might not be close when they're grown KILLS ME! I guess we'll just keep working on it.

Those are such cute pictures of Lily and Roman. I can't wait for Allie to have a little buddy...one day, right? :)

So cute! Lily looks like a wonderful big sister. Maybe Abby just needs to become an older sister in order to be a little more gentle :)

Your kids are just beautiful!! I have to say when I think of Lily, I always envision her with some "goodie" in her mouth!! I love the pic with their feet. I am so glad we have a few kids. They fight, but they are great friends and just take care of each other. What a blessing to have siblings!!
