photo crazy

A few of you have asked about the new sidebar photos - and, yes, I agree... they are soooo good :)  I don't say that because I think we are a particularly photogenic family, I say that because the photographer was just talented. 

Stacey Rygh is a friend of the family and doing these photos with her was plain old fun, and the results were delightful.  She came to Jan and Luther's one afternoon and took about one trillion photographs - every possible combination of people in about thirteen different settings around the backyard. 

I picked out my one hundred favorite pics and posted them below.  Ha ha ha.  I actually narrowed it down to ten.  Or so.  It's just so hard to pick the best :)

I already have a few that I definitely want to print (like the one of Julianna and Lydia kissing that I cannot wait to hang on the wall of their bedroom in China). 

We plan to have Stacey back to take more photos of our family after our newest little one gets settled in....
