August Photo Overload

Lindsay & Sammy were heading up to Chicago, and they spent the night with us!  It was so fun watching our kiddos play together & getting to spend a very late night chatting with Lindsay!!  Alex cried when they left, and I think he’s secretly trying to figure out how to get to Virginia for a visit to Sammy’s house… Winking smile

Here are all 4 kiddos watching Angry Birds together, with Jensyn cuddled up to her new friend Lindsay Open-mouthed smile

Alex is into self-portrait photography lately, and I get surprised by new photos all the time Smile

Actually, ALL the children in our house (Grace included…) have been grabbing the camera lately.  Loading pictures on to the computer is always interesting these days, as I just never know what I might find…
