Family Pictures!

Our last family pictures were taken when Elinor was a baby. To look at the pictures on our walls, you would never know that we have a fourth child! My sister Michelle was kind and generous enough to spend a morning with us in November trying to capture a decent picture of our family. And that is not an easy task!
Here are some favorites:

Isn't this so sweet? Joseph and I were probably behind the scenes restraining Jacob from taking a flying leap in.

I don't love this picture of myself, but I think it's funny that we're working hard to look good while our child falls into the river behind us! I'm pretty sure my pocket was full of fruit snack wrappers and grubby baby wipes.

Our frontman Jacob.

The girls. El looks a little possessed.

My boys.

I love Caleb's face here. And Emily in that tree behind them.

I often end up loving the candid shots more than the posed ones.

Those four. Caleb was being a little aggressive keeping the group together. Jake was ready to make a break for it.

Jacob is already something of a thrill seeker. Little boys. They're going to be the death of me!

This was almost a good family picture! Em would not stay out of the trees!

I think this is our official family picture of 2014. And maybe 2015. And possibly 2016?

Thanks, Michelle!
