The Little Guys and Me






Brooke took these pictures over the Christmas holidays.  I've tried to make a point of posting photos of me lately since I've had requests from folks to see what I look like, but since I'm rarely in a picture because I'm the photographer, I thought I would devote an entire post to the rare, elusive Stacey.  The group pictures include the youngest four children and our granddaughter.

Brooke did a good job!! I think it's true, most pictures I have are from my point-of-view. We want to remember every little thing! :)
