Labor Day Weekend Pictures





T's brother and his family are on the left - they have 2 boys and 2 girls. T's parents are sitting on the steps. We are behind his parents. Next to his parents are T's sister's children. She has the red hair - she and her hubby have 5 children. They are each holding one of the twins - they will be 2 next month. On the far right is T's other sister, and her hubby and 3 daughters. They have another daughter who is 18 and doesn't live at home. She was adopted as was T's brother's youngest daughter - in the yellow shirt on the left. We are a big group to squeeze into a cabin with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms!!!

*************************************
I forgot to take my camera to my parent's house for our picnic - I did take some pictures on my dad's camera, but forgot to get them from him. :( I had some great ones of my niece playing with Colin and my dad swinging on his hammock with the older two.

This is my nephew, on Tuesday, with Quintin's bow and arrow.

Quintin is loving the bow I made him - it isn't anything grand, but it doesn't hurt his hand like the red one he has. Yesterday, he told me he didn't like it anymore and when I asked why, he said because he couldn't find it when he shot it into the woods behind the house. So, he painted the arrow orange yesterday afternoon!!

Target practice:
**I need to acknowledge T's sister T who emailed me some of her photos from the weekend!!

Leigh Ann,
I enjoyed your pictures. You are quite creative with the bow and arrow! I should do that for E. He would love it, as well as his sister.
I absolutely got a kick out of Elle's picture with her doll. It reminds me of some of the pictures I took of our drama queen, E.

What gorgeous pictures! I can't believe how much Quintin looks like your DH. I spent my holiday weekend buried in prep work for the start of school. It's been a tough week...

Treasure those beautiful moments. Your pictures really gave me a boost. Thanks!

I loved the family pictures and happy activities. They look like each was having so much fun.

They remind me of my family there were 9 of us kids and when we got together even 3 bathrooms wasn't enough.But we made those memories that none of us will ever forget. connie from Texas

So many great pictures, I don't know where to start! Love that one where he's jumping into the air...and the large family photo with your relatives is great! Such a wonderful picture for all of your family to have!
