Yes, I AM Lucky

We all went to Costco today and of course, the babies attract a fair bit of attention.  I'd say the most typical comment I get is: "wow, you must have your hands full!".  Today though, one lady said "wow, you are so lucky!" How great to hear a positive comment... and it got me thinking... that yes, I AM very lucky.  I have four beautiful children and with just a few more days left before Christmas, I can hardly wait to see their eyes light up with all the magic of the holidays. 

And speaking of beautiful children, I have some great photos of them to share!  A few weeks ago, I finally made arrangements to have some family photos done so that I could send out Christmas cards.  I think I had left it to the last minute because I was dreading doing a photo shoot - I had visions of spending hours acting like a fool, desparately trying to get all the kids to look at the camera and look somewhat happy.  Well, I was more than pleasantly surprised at how well our session went... in fact, I am still OVER THE MOON with how great our photographer was!  We arrived at the park at 1pm and after unloading four children and a stroller, walking over to a spot in the trees, setting everyone up, taking photos, and then loading everyone and the stroller back into the van... I was absolutely shocked that the clock said 1:20.  And I was even more thrilled after I saw the beautiful photos Jen took.  So I must share her blog with you - poppymallowmoon.blog.com  There's a full post from our session on there - she does fabulous work.. and is a sweetheart to boot ;)
