First Family Photo Play-Off Style

Ok......I haven't posted as often as I would like since bringing Ariana home at the end of September. I still check in to see everyone's progress. We were a 250+ pgn stay so I feel for all you "long-timers". I just wanted to share this picture of our crew and their first family photo, professional one anyway. Oh and by the way, "Lets Go Colts"

TOOO CUTE, but I hate their shirts... JUST KIDDING!!! I am a die-hard Chiefs fan and those pesky Colts seem to get us every year!!

Like the other posts, I am AMAZED they all are sitting so well for the picture - we can hardly get our TWO children to both look at the camera!! Your children are all sooooo adorable!!!!!

Cindy~
There are quite a few chiefs fans here, too. I heard a lady on the local radio station today complaining about how they lost. I like the coach of the Chiefs and the friendship he shares with Dungy. I remember him as the guy after 9/11 saying "go to church". Remmeber that? Peyton definitely had an off day but our defense was on track. Ok, can you tell I live in a house full of men. Thank goodness Ari came home so I can stop watching espn, lol. No, I enjoy it actually. Big sports fanatic. Though we are die hard COLTS fans, I must admit, I watch the Packers. I have a crush on Brett Favre but since it looks like he's gonna retire I need to find a new quarterback to drool over, lol
As for the kids sitting still, you just never know. I have learned that the first shot is usually the best shot. It has worked that way the last few times but if you remember, I posted our Christmas card and it was all individual shots. They absolutely refused to sit for me!! Boys will be Boys!!
