It is impossible.....

To get 20 people looking in the same direction, saying "cheese" at the exact same time and posing thoughtfully for the best photo ever. Kiddies are distracted by one thing or another. Parents are distracted by one kid or another. Grandparents are distracted by one parent or another and yet through the whole ordeal, we get to look at ourselves just as we paused and just as the photo was taken. Here are 19 of my favorite people on the whole planet. They make up a wonderful and loving family and I marvel at their beauty and thank GOD that they are ours.

Someone once asked me how I ever remembered them all and my reply was that I pray for each one, individually, by name both morning and night. I love them all and next time I see them I am going to tweek their cheeks! If any of them admit to feeling special little nudge of goodness, it is likely that it is the result of the prayers of our prayers on behalf of these little ones. How blessed we are!
