Pics of the kids

It seems like I havent posted in a long time. Probably because my life is so crazy!! Maddie just turned 3 and Drew will be 6 in December. Sometimes my husband and I play photographer and here are some that turned out today. Out of the 150 we took about 10 turned out so that is a pretty good percentage

I agree. That last one is beautiful, although the individual ones are pretty terrific too.
