The Pearls I Could Not Buy...


You are the trip I did not take,
You are the pearls I could not buy.
You are my blue Italian lake,
You are my piece of foreign sky.
-Anne Campbell
Can I just say that I love this little crew?  Doug and I were holding up this picture last night and saying to each other, "Can you believe this is what we ended up with?"  We remembered dreaming with each other about what our kids would look like and how many we would have, but we never could have imagine how perfect and precious each one would come.  I'm sorry to sound "braggy", just want to exclaim that we are truly blessed!
I had a friend tell me about a great deal on an 11x13 of the kids from a local photographer.   He was very kind and generous with us on the other photos- really "the pearls I could not buy" otherwise, and I just feel humble and grateful to have captured a precious snap shot of my "piece of foreign sky."  This will be a treasure for us. 
Mom said Briggy looked like a little Banker.  I love that. :)



I had a hard time pulling them away from the waiting room. :)

I'm just sad that you didn't get a family photo with Ma and Pa in it. You two deserve some small credit to this crew. I love Autumn's face in the first photo. Absolutely precious!
