Photos: The Window to the Past

If you have been following us these past few weeks, you know that we are just finishing 2 graduations the past two weekends. It is hard to admit that we have a college graduate and only one more child in high school. Guess it is time to admit that my wife and I are getting older. As we have prepared for our kids graduations, we found ourselves reflecting and going through all our old photos and reminiscing about our younger years. When Number 1 was born, I was there with th

It is graduation season, and we have two in the house this year – one from college and one from high school! Number 1 and Number 3 have reached new milestones; as Number 2 and Number 4 continue the journey. At the same time, my husband and I are caught in between the busyness of the end of school year concerts and banquets, and celebrations to come that inspire us to look back on the 18-and-22-year life cycle of the kids. The nice thing about having multiple kids, is that we
