This is our first "Family Picture". Precious had been home just a few months. She was 8 1/2 when she joined our family. Dayton was just a few weeks old here. :) This was taken in December of 2001.
Next came Denzell who was 7 at the time and Unique who was then 11. Everyone thought THAT was a BIG family. lol They had already been home for several months in this picture. (I don't have the Spring picture on this computer.) This was taken in November of 2003.
Next came Andrew who was then age 5 and Forrest who was age 7 at the time. This picture was taken in Spring of 2006. :) People then realized we were "crazy". haha
Next came Crystal who was 8, Destiny who was 4, and Ezekiel who was 3. They made us into a family of 11 people and pushed us into most people's "Extreme Large Family" category. Gotta love a 50% increase in the number of children! This picture was taken in December of 2007.
The next additions were close together. Jose was 7 and Jacob was 5 when they arrived in January of 2009. Julianne arrived at age 2, just 2 months later. This picture was taken around May of 2009.
Our last family picture was taken in December of 2009. We usually always do pictures at Christmas, but I just couldn't do them this year when Cody was so much a part of us, but not here yet. I promised myself and the kids that we'd do one when he gets home. I will go ahead and do them before the kids get home from Eastern Europe. We will then get another as soon as they are all settled in enough to after their arrival home.
Here is our most recent picture from December 2009.
I can't wait to get everyone in one picture. I wonder if we will manage to get them all to look at the camera. :)
Can't you see how big God has blessed us? I mean, to most this would be insane, but to us it is just the biggest blessing imaginable. We are truly and amazingly blessed!
