how max lost his tooth

pretty sure max is the coolest kid ever. he begged us to do it this way. enjoy!

Mother's Day 2011

I really wanted to get a picture with my kids for mother's day. of course nothing ever really goes as planned, so this is the best we could come up with. paul was busy with meetings before and after church, so i had to use self timer and small ones as photographers. good thing those kids are cute as can be - no matter what!

sweet ella

jack...who was not happy to be photographed. glad we caught a smile!

max in what might be his last picture taken with his front baby teeth. more on that later...you won't want to miss it.

do you think nora minds having her picture taken? nope! i love it!

two attempts and the self timer.

i'm so happy i get to be a mom. hope it was a great day for all!
