You and your husband cloned those kids, right?

Beautiful pictures and I especially covet Simone's dress.

I was coveting her necklace. Everything she wears is so simple and stylish :)

Fabulous pics!

of fabulous people! :D

The sun casts such beautiful light on those photos!

Lovely photos! And beautiful people. What a wonderful family you have, and indeed, the reason is the people.

I covet everything about Simone too.
Her dress is Patagonia, and her necklace and matching earrings are from a store in Harbor 9 shopping center in Annapolis, Maryland.
in case anyone else is wondering...

And John - I covet his Guacomole. its really good.

Shiny Vacation Faces, YAY!

(although I missed your face in the team-awesome collection)

When I hear a song on the radio -with it's lovely message of love, be it family, or otherwise, or read stories of love or I see your lovely posts about your wonderful, loving family- I have sigh and smile. I have been taking these small messages, feeling the messages of love to offset my loneliness and empty apartment.

It hasn't always been that way. In the near-past I'd think, why am I so alone? But somehow, someway I have seen the error in my thinking/ feelings. I hear these wonderful messages as being part of a bigger world and that I am not really as alone as I think.

Really, thank you for sharing. And blessings to your lovely family.

You're never really alone when you have the Internets! :)

Thank you Internets. :)

[haa Your spam protector just gave me this message: Please confirm you are a human below.Thanks Spam-a-rama, now I really have a complex. AND the words that came up were railroad- yawn- and unafraid. Okay, I am unafraid! hahaaaahaaaaa]

Beautiful. Gorgeous. Wonderful.

What terrific pictures! All of them! Seriously, we need to plan a little family reunion with all of us and whoever else wants to cross the ocean. What should we aim for? Thanksgiving? Next Spring? Next Summer? I want to join in on the fun too ! :O)

Nice.
I can tell your heart is full. It's a good place to be.

I've been scrolling all your amazing vacation photos - SO beautiful. I love that you could spend this time together, and Karin and Martin will have such good memories of this time, I just know it. Lately people going on vacation have been making me feel grumpy (pure jealousy on my part) but yours makes me feel oh so happy.
