Heart Pick Up Pictures and Home pictures
Hello All,

Here are some pictures of our pick up trip and after we are home pictures.
Max is a complete dream baby, so happy and smiles all the time.

He is rolling over both ways, and can push him self backwards when on his tummy. I dont think it will be to terribly long before he can crawl!

He Adores all his brothers and sisters and of course his mommy and daddy!

Thanks for all your support this past year!

Brandy, he is just such a cutie. Your other children look so happy. What a handsome bunch you have.

So, did you cut Max's hair off on the top?

What a cutie! And what a beautiful family you have. Looks like you have some good "helpers" there with Max. I know our older children are invaluable with helping with Joseph.

Keep us posted!
