family pics!

finally the kids and I had some photos taken of us while we walked around the Mission down in San Juan. Of course I picked the HOTTEST day of the week last week to do this and we were outside, sweating like crazy. After an hour the kids were over it just as much as I was. I figured we'd be lucky if you got 3 good shots out of an hour. To my surprise there are way more than I had hoped for! It's just nice to have some updated photos of us. I remember wanting to get family pics taken when we had just Will but since I was pregnant I told P we'd just wait til Reese arrived. I've learned that it's never too early to take these kinds of photos and to just do it because you really just never know.. and photos are all I have left after P died. I really wished we had taken some nice family photos before Reese was born.

I plan on to put them on canvas and create a wall collage above my living room couch...just another thing to add to my never ending list of projects I have either started or in my head for the house..

Thanks again JKPs and Dawn who somehow managed to get my two babes to look at the camera at the same time.. forget asking them to look AND smile at the same time! Maybe next year, Reese?

This little sneak peek video makes me want to cry every time I watch it. I'm so thankful for my 2 blessings.

These are SUCH stunning pictures Erynn!!! I can't believe how BIG Will is. These photos are SUCH a wonderful way to remember Patrick, because you can see him in those beautiful children's faces. :) Even though I am a stranger, I am always keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

Excellent! Wow! You all look fantastic! I wish I would have done a family shoot like that with my kids when they were little, but "back in the day" no one did that! How great that you have these memories. You will look back on these pictures and be amazed at how much your children change and grow over the years. I wish you many, many, many years of love with them!

Hi Erin - I've been reading your blog for so long now but I don't think I have ever commented until now - omg what amazing photos. Your son is so grown up! He looks alot like his dad. Thanks so much for sharing these with all of us - I'm praying for you and your MIL and your beautiful family. My son is 23 now and he is by far the best thing I have ever done in my life. Hold on - they grow up soooo fast!
Take care and God Bless...

Erynn, what a great time was had by all on Patrick's 28th birthday, we all miss him and Bill so much it hurts everyday to realize that such wonderful and fun men have been taken from us, but remember we will all see them once again, and resume all the fun times, and love. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your children, which whom I consider great granchildren of sorts....Linda & Steve
