Family Photo on the Fourth

Here are the shots from our annual family tradition -- same poses, year 7!

I think it is interesting that so many of the shirts have been around awhile. In the first photo, Will was 4 and the triplets were 21 months. This year, Ben is 7 and wearing the same shirt that was on Will the first year. It's hard to believe ANY shirt lasted that long in our family, let along one that all the boys have worn!

Our 4th has been pretty laid back. We stayed home this year and took our photo in our backyard. The Brodys and Browns came in the afternoon and stayed for dinner and late-night games. The 10 kids played hard all day, then slowed down for a movie. Somehow all of us down-played the fireworks enough that none of the kids were upset, and all of us made plans to go to the Whitehouse city fireworks show tomorrow (Saturday, July 5th.) All in all, it was a fun, FUN day!
