uh oh

These are the last beach pictures of the season, I promise.

I think.

Really.

Honestly, I did intend to post these a while ago.

But I forgot.

And, because they’re my kids and I love ’em,

I don’t want to just leave these pictures to get all dusty in ‘draft’ status.

Plus, seeing these pictures makes me smile.

And makes me cry.

Good stuff.

So long, summer 2010.

Thanks for the memories.

    I say post AS MANY as you want!! We could never tire of seeing your adorable family – plus it is really entertaining to watch you try to get 9 kids to all look at the camera at the same time πŸ™‚

    And who doesn't love the beach?

    What a beautiful bunch of kiddos you have. Some day I hope to have a large passel of them myself. But only if they choose to love one another as yours appear to do. God is good!

    You have a beautiful family! They are just precious! I hope that you have many joyful days in the years to come! I am adopted from China and I love looking at people’s blogs. It just makes me happy looking at them. You just assured that tomorrow I will have an awesome birthday!
