so proud

i could not be more proud of who my siblings are.  my brothers and sisters are seriously some of the most amazing people i've ever known...and will ever know.  i love them all so much.  that's a lot of love, y'all - there are seven of us, and half of us are married...and more than half the marrieds have kids!  here's just a little morsel of the beauty that is in my first family...(newsflash: i have GOT to get some shots of mom and dad together next time, okay?  this is ridiculous!)

the baby and...the baby 

  "little" brother.  so much to say about him, but very little seems adequate to describe.

sister and her sweet husband.  love them, and love how he loves her.

big sis and her boys...sweet, sweet Steven and his wonderful daddy.

bride he waited soooooo long for (he was waiting for perfection) and big brother.  so glad you found each other.

oldest bro.  and his fam.  little miss really has a beautiful smile.  there was no pulling a smile out of her that day, though.  consider yourself unfortunate if you don't know these guys and the work they do. 

mom and the babe...

i have her hands.
like i said...need more of the parentals.  apparently, I have none.
