Family Pictures

A few weeks ago I told you we had family pictures done for my whole family.  Our son Andy lives in Kentucky and had to drive up for this.  Adding in the crazy work schedules of everyone else made it quite a challenge to get set up.  Everyone cooperated though and the pictures turned out really nice. 
The photographer took lots of different shots of each family, kids, spouses...   Here's a few I thought I would share.

My Dad with his four kids.  
(Left to Right - Me, Cheri, Duane and Terri)


The whole group!  Dad and stepmom Ann, 4 kids, 3 spouses, 9 grandkids with one spouse and one fiance, and one great grandchild.


We are so blessed to have these two.  My dear Dad and stepmom, ages 84 and 85.


Dad and Ann with all the grandkids.


My family



Bob and I with Alaina


My wonderful kids!

When this was taken she had 6 weeks to go.  The baby is due October 27.


Our sweet Alaina

"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.   Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.  Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them."
Psalm 127:3-4

    Beautiful photos and I love the location. Where exactly is that barn? Is it available to the public or privately owned?

    Oh my word, that last one nearly killed me. My favorite is the one of your children and Alaina, but a close second would be the one where Bob is gazing on Alaina, the lovelight beaming from his eyes. Precious moments, beautiful pictures! The setting is gorgeous. Such wonderful memories. xoxo now bring on that new grandbaby :-)

    They are beautiful pictures Mari, obviously you had a very good photographer, but they had very good subjects to work with too!!! I love the one of your Dad and Stepmom looking at each other, that really is lovely, but they are all really good pictures and will have captured great memories for you all. xx

    What a lovely family!
    You are blessed to have your dad and mom-in-law and as healthy as they look.
    Laura reminds me of when I was pregnant.
    One of ours weighed 12lbs. 2.5oz at birth.

    Blessings on the grandchild to come into the world. My youngest great granddaughter will be three on Oct 18. :)
