Wordful and Way-Back When-sday

I am going to combine my Way-back Whensday and Wordful Wednesday posts this week, because they go together for me.

This past Sunday was Gabrielle's christening, since this is the third baby I have been blessed to christen I am a pro and was really excited, calm and enjoyed it. (I will add more pictures and a separate post all together about the Christening later on).

Anyway, my first picture was taken at Emma's Christening on August 22, 2004. This is a family picture, with my parents, my sister and her husband. It's special because it was the first picture we took as a family in many, many years. It was not the most comfortable photo taken but my parents were good sports and posed with us. I treasure this picture!


This picture was taken almost 5 years later, on Sunday, February 8, 2009, at Gabrielle's Christening. Another great family photo. This one was easier to take and I think even the expressions on all of our faces seem more relaxed. There is nothing like children to bring a family together. The next one will be taken when Michelle has the twinkies! Does anyone have a wide lens? This family started out with four of us and it keeps growing and growing and growing! I love it!
