Sunday Snapshot: {all of them}

My girls.

All four of them.

In one spot.

Makes a mama’s heart positively sing, I tell you.

And my boys.

All five of them.

How can I not grin from ear to ear with these goofballs around?

All of them.

In one spot.

All nine of my precious children.

Each one so uniquely created.

So singularly adored.

Feeling like the most blessed mama on earth today.

*********************************

I am so sorry I haven’t been able to visit everyone’s blog who participated last week. Life has been ridiculously busy and to be honest, I was in such a funk after Vivienne’s diagnosis that I just didn’t have the extra energy to drop by and visit y’all. I am really sorry. But I WILL be making my rounds this week, and next week, and… well, you get the picture πŸ™‚

To join in this week, just copy the code under the Sunday Snapshot button and paste it into the body of your Sunday Snapshot post where you’d like the button to be displayed. Once you hit ‘publish’ it should show up just fine πŸ™‚

Then add your link below.

To do this, go to your blog. Click on the title of your new Sunday Snapshot post. The new url in your browser window will be a direct link to your Sunday Snapshot post. Copy that url and paste it into the inLinkz window below. If it’s just a general link to your blog, I’ll have to remove it. And I hate that.

    I've been waiting to see pics of Tori! She's just as beautiful as ever!
    I know your heart is FULL! Praise God!
    And might I say…there does seem to be just the right spot for one or two more in that big ol' family picture. Is that bad that I think that way? πŸ˜‰
    Hugs!

    I just realized you're down a girl. Must even that up Stef! πŸ™‚
    Enjoy your together time. One of the things I really took away from Operation Oasis at Sandy Cove is that I MUST be purposeful with my time.
    My children are growing leaps and bounds every day and I don't want to miss any of it!!
    Blessings,
    Holly

    They are all such beautiful kids! I know how awesome it is to have all of them together. πŸ™‚ You know what is so funny? I was looking at the pictures and thinking, "Wow…she has a lot of kids." Then I realized…um…I have one more than you. hehe When they are at my house it doesn't seem like there that many. πŸ™‚
