Picture Time!

It was time for Gracie's six month and everyone else's annual pictures anyway, but with Kenny leaving for Idaho in the morning and us wanting to get pictures taken before we move, it was pretty much now or never. OK, I know I'm biased, but I think the kids are pretty cute. So here they are:

Gracie - 6 month (OK, 7 months)

Hannah Beth - age 2

Benjamin James - age 4

Sarah Kate - age 6

(Sarah gets a bonus shot because she's just looked so beautiful with this shot cropped down)

And the whole group of them

Funny story. We had planned on going to Mount Vernon to take the pictures. So we loaded up the kids, the camera, the hair stuff, some drinks, and some snacks and headed out. We drove all the way to Mount Vernon, even stopping at a couple stores on the way while Kenny looked for some last minute things, pulled into the parking lot and started getting kids out of the car before I realized that I wasn't wearing any shoes. I had been so preoccupied trying to make sure that everyone else had what they needed that I had walked out the door barefoot like I often do and forgot to grab my own sandals. So we ended up not going to Mount Vernon since I couldn't get in barefoot. Instead we stopped at the Mount Vernon Grist Mill just down the road where we ultimately ended up taking the pictures. I think it turned out OK personally.
