This week’s family photo was taken a few years back and is sadly the most recent photo we have of Nate’s Dad and family!

I’ve always wanted a big family, so marrying into this one was a dream come true. :) I’ve known these guys since the littlest ones were 4, and I can’t even believe they’re turning 11 next year!

This Photo of the Week goes to the rest of my family, and the only photo I have of all five of us that doesn’t involve me in blue-jean material from head to toe, braces, shiny bifocals, and a sunflower bow in my hair!

It’s my favorite family photo ever, and maybe the last time we’ll have all of us in one shot. It was taken when my brother married Kristin; the one in the big, white dress! My family members may stray from time to time and be a bit broken, but we’re family. And that still counts for a lot. :)
