Family Time

Last weekend, we headed home to take pictures with my family to celebrate my parents' 35th wedding anniversary.  We all drove to my family's ranch and had a crazy Saturday night.  Boy, did we have fun!  16 people and a two hour photo shoot.  Kierstyn put on quite the modeling performance and Justin and I got in on the action some, too.  In one of the pics on Kasey's blog, the one with my parents and us four sibs, I'm trying to get everyone to do a 'top model' pose but it seems that I'm the only one who actually did it.  :)

Our photographer was amazing.  I've been hearing about her for years from a mutual friend and was so excited to finally meet her.  If you're anywhere near Clovis and want some awesome pictures, I highly recommend her.

To represent Little E in the pictures, our 'little' part of the family wore a red ribbon around our wrists.  There's an ancient Chinese saying that a red string connects the hearts of those who are destined to meet.  So, Little E may be half a world away right now, but our hearts are connected to him.  Kasey took a picture of our ribbons [minus Maci -- she couldn't be troubled to hold still!] so we can have that for him someday.  It's a very sweet picture, she has it on her blog.

Lots of family pics and Sunset pics
