Absoutley stunning!! Also, I bet Nolan and EJ had just as much fun spending time with family members and having all the attention to themselves just as G & A did.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244655760769450702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631451914129717953.post-66061066839824320622013-08-16T08:39:42.349-05:002013-08-16T08:39:42.349-05:00Would love to see more pictures of your other beau...Would love to see more pictures of your other beautiful treasures!!

Or taking that perfect photo and never displaying it because some of the kids were not in it. And letting that guilt consume me. So here's what I have learned.<br /><br />Sometimes it is necessary to leave some of my kids at home so that the entire experience isn't ruined for everyone else. That sometimes I need to go to a function without having to wrestle kids, and worry, and fuss over them...Because sure we would all be there as one whole family, but we would be missing out on the entire event! I have learned to stop feeling guilty when all 8 of us are not at the same place at the same time. I have learned that my older kids deserve to be out with us without my time and energy being spent on the younger ones who demand every bit of sanity I got! I figure that's whats fair to the older kids.<br /><br />As for pictures...I use to feel guilty if all the kids were not in the picture...Or if my Nephew wasn't in it. Now I just take the damn picture, doesn't matter whos there whos not. We know were are a solid eight, pictures are just snapshots in time.<br /><br />I'm glad you got to enjoy the weekend and the wedding with your oldest. Beautiful pictures.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040699928110444013noreply@blogger.com
