Well, here we are... all 13 of us! THE WHOLE FAM DAMILY!! My special request to all of my kids was to take a family picture, before I lost all my hair as a result of the chemo. They agreed and since Bryan has been dabbling in photography he agreed to try to capture the essence of our family. So amidst the whining, laughter, complaining and even a SNAKE... I think he succeeded! When I look at us all together, I can hardly believe this is our very own big, hu-normous family. What a blessing! I am so glad we did this. (In the bottom photo from left to right are: Glen and Blair, Ben, Maddie, Layni, Me and Ricky, Haley, Blanche, Tyler and Malorie, Kristin and Bryan.)
You can click on each of these two pictures to get a closer view of each photo. Then you can really see how cute and gorgeous each of our kids and their spouses are!! Okay, I know I'm bragging!
"You are members of God's family... We who believe are carefully joined together, becoming a holy temple for the Lord."
Ephesians 3: 19-21

Like the nine lepers in today's Gospel who did not realize the great gift they'd been given, don't we take the abundance of our lives for granted? Our children, spouses, health, work, waking up, a hot bath, morning coffee....Beautiful family and blessed day all of you shared, we took family pictures this past weekend also....God is amazing
OMG!!! What an amazing photo. You truly have a beautiful family, God has blessed you abundantly!
Madelene, you are so inspiring. You have tackled this with such grace and strength.....May God continue to be with you and your precious family.
I consider it a blessing to know you and call you friend.
Love,
Melba
