Picture Parade: Your absolute favorite picture!
There just aren't enough pictures happening on this site right now. I need pictures to help me cope with another weekend and still no news!
So, I thought it would be fun to see your absolute favorite picture of your child (whether home or still in process). Here are mine: Jayden - the greatest smile ever! Taken at his 8 month doctor's appointment. Lillian - I absolutely love her smile in this one (she is the one on the left). She looks so happy and full of life.

I just got updated pictures yesterday, so it's hard for me to pick b/c I love them all! So I'm choosing 2 of them. I love my son so much, sometimes the thought of him still knocks the wind out of me. I'm so lucky!

It's a tie between these two.
I can see what I'm in for in the one where he looks like he has a little "tude" - and the other one looks like he has a mouthful of jello...

It's hard for me to pick as well, but here are a couple. We just brought our 6 month old twin daughters home a couple of weeks ago. We are so proud of our 21 month old and how she is being so sweet as a big sister. She has done amazingly well with her new little sisters! The first picture is of all three of them before church last Sunday. The second is just of the twin girls taken last week. Thanks for letting me share my blessings/gifts from God with you!!

I picked two also. The first is of Addy with the bear we made her. She's smiling so nice and I love her in hats. I have no idea why I love the second so much...I think it is because in person she is SUCH a goof and it really shows her personality.
Everyone's pics are soooo adorable. I am extremely jealous of the twins...I wanted twins so bad!!

Well, if this works, I have managed to attach my first picture ever. It is not my favorite of Sam, but to give you my favorite, well, you'd be here for hours! Here's our happy guy (hopefully) with his blanket from Nana.
All of these children are beautiful!

This is one of the latest portraits taken of our daughter. This is my favorite picture, until the next picture we take...haha!
She will be 1 year old this week and has been home for 7 months.

Sharing pictures is so much fun. My new avtar pic is my most recent of Elaina and if you look close you can see one of her two teeth. The second picture is one my Family and Friends have named: "Rock ON!" or "Peace" and my favorite name for this picture is "Come get me Mama!!" that's what one of my children from my Pre-school class last year said it looks like she is saying!!! I love my ANGEL ELAINA!!!
All of these babies are GORGEOUS!!!!! Let's bring them home soon!!!
